Critic score distribution:
  1. Positive: 5 out of 12
  2. Negative: 0 out of 12
  1. The record is perhaps a more extreme a transformation than that of Patrick Wolf.
  2. As dazzling as Entanglements can be, its polish and uniqueness makes it more polarizing than anything Parenthetical Girls have done before.
  3. Parenthetical Girls consists primarily of Zac Pennington's unmistakable vocals, and they are given a musical context that emphasizes their stark beauty on this album. It was well worth the three years of effort on his part.
  4. While certain details are kept shrouded, the acts and emotions are hyper-real, and the story's arc is plenty navigable.
  5. Conceptually, Entanglements has been done before, but lyrics are reprised and musical sentences are repeated in such a way that it creates a singularly cohesive, linear narrative piece.
