    At over an hour, Instrumentals may try the patience of anyone not already acclimated to Pearce’s mood-driven vision. But fans who can’t get enough of his distinctive approach to composition and performance may find this record to be the purest expression of FSAness yet.

    With no vocals to dictate affective themes, you are left to the painterly openness of Pearce’s work, which affords space to both mounting tension and meditative resolution.

    It makes for a record with some distinct highs and lows; when it works, it is a lovely shimmering thing that amply demonstrates just how precious Flying Saucer Attack were and still are.

    Instrumentals pretty much picks up where FSA left off. [Aug 2015, p.95]

    What it has is a mood, a continuing tone; and it’s a shimmering thing with pastoral chimes that fervently calls the faithful.

    There's little to grasp here, the chiming guitar of 11 and blustery feedback of 6 excepted. [Aug 2015, p.106]
