  1. Surprisingly enough, it lacks a strong sense of focus (something the creative basking of Sea Lion honed in on) and for all of its elements of sweeping grandiosity, they never seem to have much of a purpose.
  2. With Fight Softly they seem so out of sync, so bland and so disappointing.
  3. Mojo

    While he's putting love into these rippling, galloping beats, the vocal melodies get a little samey. [Apr 2010, p.103]
  4. Q Magazine

    It may lack enough heavy hitters to equal the sucess of "Merriweather Post Pavilion," yet the aptly named McPhun has created a Technicolor, synapse-tickling delight. [Apr 2010, p.119]
  5. While hardly acting as a complete departure from previous efforts, the Ruby Suns’ third outing regrettably cuts itself off at the knees too often to be considered either progressive or a total success.
  6. Vocalist Ryan McPhun deftly walks the line between embarassing naivete and calculation.
