Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 6 out of 10
  2. Negative: 0 out of 10
  1. 90
    Good Evening is unbelievably catchy and vintage but at times is weighted down by its own obscurity, sometimes becoming far too much background noise and not enough of an active listen to provide enough distinction between tracks.
  2. She’s absurd, yes, but she also has an incredible melodic sense and can unpredictably weave trancey backdrops to brilliant effect.
  3. She may be about to extract herself from the heat-warped dazzle pop of Good Evening, which is probably a good idea considering the amount of opaque imitators crushing hard on her heels, but for now Gonzalez has created one of the most understated and beautifully murky pop records of 2009.
  4. Good Evening is a good bet for fans of Casiotone For The Painfully Alone, Glass Candy, and Sally Shapiro. [Spring 2009, p.79]
