    Some of the most compelling, essential rock music of the era, period. [No.90, p.61]

    B-sides included here aren't without their charms but the album's genius clearly lay in distilling only the finest of Mould's new material into a powerful, singular statement. [Jul 2012, p.100]

    Sugar may have lacked the outsider appeal and cataclysmic cultural impact of Nirvana but he furnace-forged guitar pop of 1992 debut Copper Blue was a handsome match for Nevermind. [Aug 2012, p.114]

    Perfect power pop from Mould proves he can move towards the mainstream without losing his edge. This is perfect summer listening; if you haven't discovered Sugar in this form, you have something very sweet waiting for you...… Collapse
