Alternative PressThat rare double album with enough life in it to deserve that much real estate. [Aug 2006, p.208]
-
It’s Frank Black on his first real roll as a solo artist.
-
MojoWhile it might've been more digestible as a single CD, Black strives for a wide scope that makes the album's elegant songcraft, musical telepathy and poetic unpredictability all the more satisfying. [Aug 2006, p.104]
-
The work of a middle-aged man with little to prove: amiable, assured, seldom surprising.
-
Under The RadarOddly, the songs here are actually quite good and are played , well but Black’s nasal voice is at odds with some of the genres he’s exploring. [#14]

New Musical Express (NME)Where Black's muse was once shrieked and otherworldly, it's now distinctly earth-bound. [17 Jun 2006, p.37]

UncutMuch of it is endurance-defyingly dull. [Jul 2006, p.84]

Sep 12, 2019One of the best album of Frank Black. Nevertheless, many songs would have deserved to be better produced.
