    Each song is snappy, playful, and stylish, and that's what makes Dancing with Daggers work so well.
  2. PopMatters

    Bountiful melodies were promised on The Constant Lover. On Dancing with Daggers, the band delivers, and with greater sonic oomph.
  3. Pitchfork

    They've developed an impressive sense of craft, and it seems they can only go up from here.
  4. Uncut

    Their debut's brevity and sharp hooks suggest a band with an acute sense of purpose. [Aug 2006, p.100]

    Reminds me of Eisley meets Hole, and I mean this in a good way. At under 30 minutes, the album is too short.
