Entertainment WeeklyThough pretty, the stripped-down treatment... is mostly free of innovation, softening rather than sharpening the originals' enjoyably jagged edges. [17 June 2005, p.79]

Q MagazineA nice enough idea, but being much quieter and more pastoral, it is also somewhat anti-climactic. [Aug 2005, p.128]

New Musical Express (NME)In the end, this can't even make you feel angry; just desperately sad. [16 Jul 2005, p.50]
