  1. The Independent (UK)

    Featuring a blend of standards and originals spiced with judicious covers of sometimes obscure indie tracks, it manages to sustain a mood and attitude throughout without offering too many hostages to homogeneity.
  2. The Guardian
    Dec 13, 2011

    It's a lopsided affair: while Smith bleats on about being cold and feeling old (on the dreadful When the Thames Froze), the songs on which Burrows takes the lead possess a more pleasant and gentle Elliott Smith lilt.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    Jan 18, 2012

    The Christmas album can risk being a sonic Round Robin, of interest to few but its creators, dispossessed of all perspective as they've mired themselves deep in their icky, cosy world.
