    The Blake Babies are back, melodic hooks and great songs in tow.
  2. Pitchfork

    Another album of somewhat charming and unexceptional tunes.

    There's no revist from the muse that delivered the exquisite Temptation Eyes back in 1990. [Sep 2001, p.107]

    A surprisingly powerful keeper.
  6. The A.V. Club

    While not an overwhelming album, God Bless The Blake Babies certainly suggests that the group is better off together than apart.

    A gorgeous and welcome display of growth... [#155, p.68]

    The band sounds richer, fuller and more confident. Sometimes they also sound a little too slick for their own good -- a nagging concern with "Disappear", among others -- but the studio glitz is matched by artistic maturity.
  9. CDNow
    70
    God Bless the Blake Babies is a return to the simpler sounds of honey-infused indie rock.
  10. HOB.com
    70
    God Bless The Blake Babies is more refined, more textured, and more produced than anything from the band's heyday.
  11. Spin Cycle
    63
    A sweet and sometimes bitter pack of world-weary bubblegum pop.
