    Inside The Ships is one of their most entertaining yet confounding albums. [Oct 2011, p.101]

    The results are--as ever--compellingly inventive and seductively imagistic. [Oct 2011, p.100]

    This time around, tuba, chanter, cymbalom and (apparently) paprika add to the nuance by which, at their best, Tarwater seem to stretch sound and time.

    Tarwater mutants tropes from post-punk, outre-jazz, and Krautrock, but there is some sensitivity embedded into all their isolating experimentation. [Oct. 2011, p. 113]

    While it's impossible to shrug off the feeling they've been here before, [Inside The Ships] remains involving. [Nov. 2011, p. 140]
