Entertainment WeeklyTheir punchy choruses and propulsive garage riffs are as addictive as those of 2006 sensations Arctic Monkeys. [16 Mar 2007, p.69]
-
Costello Music crackles from top to bottom with nervous energy, confident songwriting, and hopeless confusion over girls, girls, girls.
-
Right now, their bouncing glamorama feels like the most important album you could own.

Most of Costello is like a madcap Glasgow pub crawl: It makes you elated in the moment and sorry when it's over.

Fans might be better off putting "Flathead" on a homemade mix-tape than following the rest of Costello Music.
