  1. Alternative Press

    Seattle's answer to Funhouse. [Jul 2004, p.146]
  2. For all the energetic, dark, brooding noise of Howling...It Grows and Grows, the Catheters are missing one thing: variety.
  3. It's nice to hear a garage band that actually sounds like it was recorded in a garage.
  4. Entertainment Weekly
    67
    The quartet's rock & roll may be fairly conventional, but their overdrive proves decently draining. [28 May 2004, p.126]
  5. Mojo
    70
    Their raucous, raw live show transfers effortlessly to record, justifying all three of those exclamation marks. [Jun 2004, p.116]
  6. Ultimately, The Catheters are big on style, and troublingly low on ideas.
  7. A rock-solid album that improves with each listen.
