    If Hippies has a flaw, it's only that it overstays its welcome by just a few minutes.
  2. BBC Music

    Quite who Harlem can hope to appeal to, in the UK at least, when music fans here are evidently besotted with sci-fi nonsense one minute and cleverly articulated kitchen-sink dramas the next is anyone's guess. Best to quit the questioning, though, and get down with the rollicking jams they're kicking out regardless of how many people are listening.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    80
    Hippies is an uncomplicated, brilliant LP about what it's like to be young, stoned and having A REALLY GOOD TIME while not coming across like you're a complete tool.

    It's simple fare, true, but wholly enjoyable for it. [Jun 2010, p.124]
