  1. Clash Music
    90
    It’s Buzzcocks-goes-Daniel Johnston, with a little Guided By Voices on the side, erudite and desperate, and everything mentioned above and yet a lot, lot more. And it’s a pleasure to share it, and them, with you.
  2. Drowned In Sound
    80
    The guitar work almost borders on wankery. Space-rock elements of Sixties psych don't so much creep as stomp leaden footedly into your lugs. Does it feel a little out of place? Yes. Finest four and a half minutes of Let's Wrestle's brief career? Absolutely fucking yes.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    80
    Their debut buzzes with all the frisson of perspiring pre-teens getting their pseudo-sexual jollies playing Tetris under unmade bed linen; a sort of puerile Pavement with bigger laughs.
  4. Under The Radar
    60
    Is it a grand goof or an impasioned plea for love? Probably both at once, which illustrates the preverse appeal of this fine album. [Winter 2010, p.64]
