    It's wink-free pop bliss. [26 Mar 2010,p.69]

    The Bird & the Bee manage to make these very familiar hits sound fresh without radically reinventing them. That in itself is a much trickier move than turning these all into slow acoustic dirges, but it's better still because these arrangements are true to both Hall & Oates and George & Kurstin.

    The Bird and the Bee don't so much recreate Hall & Oates as they modernize them, taking the strictly adhered-to hooks and coating them in shimmering synth lines.

    It all slides down nicely--great bachelorette party music that sounds good on headphones. [Sep 2010, p.104]
