  1. Billboard

    It's no wonder that visionary artists like Brian Eno and Tricky have welcomed the act with open arms. "Good Looking Blues" finds the group combining the best elements of its past... with bluesy horns, Jamaican beats, hip-hop drum loops, and avant-jazzy excursions.
  2. Splendid
    80
    It's intelligent and novel and manages to avoid sounding clichéd -- a bona fide feat these in these postmodern days
  3. All Music Guide
    80
    Even though you wouldn't call the sound upbeat, it is indeed mesmerizing, tranquil, and head-bobbing.
  4. Alternative Press
    80
    10 tracks of alien grooves, percolating beats and shimmering atmospheres that are engaging, sophisticated, and mature. [#146, p.101]
