    By album-ender "First Contact" the pair have accumulated enough momentum that they sound ready to bust out of Saulnier's self-conscious mind and take the rest of the world on, one graceful guitar burst at a time.

    This second album is exciting rather than essential, but if it's blown-out ears you want, PS I Love You oblige in style.

    Saulnier's wild-man-on-a-rampage vocals are no longer hidden behind the unfettered sequel of his equally uncivilized guitar. [Jul 2012, p.109]

    Lyrics ... come off as exceedingly everyday - as well as vital.

    Would be great to remove the second Pitchfork review from this total - it's listed here twice!

    Montreal Mirror also gives the album 9/10:
