Crossing the Rubicon is the sound of a band reaching their potential as artists and it's very satisfying to see and, more importantly, to hear.
-
This is a well-rounded album that is as artistically rich as it is sonically pleasing. The Sounds are going to be around for awhile.
-
Alternative PressThe serious tone is a natural progression for the Sounds but Rubicon's downfall is that it's songs don't linger much after the music stops. [Jul 2009, p.128]

Ultimately, The Sounds probably won't change your world, but they sure can be fun to dance to.
-
A few choruses stick, and 'No One Sleeps When I'm Awake' sounds like a solid Heart cover. But the rest? What's Swedish for "meh"?
-
The Sounds, sadly, are fatally pledged to sincerity in its most ponderous and uninspired form.
-
This is a decently crafted, moderately hooky, fairly vacuous power-pop album, and under the right light, you could do a whole lot worse.
