Entertainment WeeklyWhen Sprout is both tuneful and coherent... he achieves pure bliss. [14 Mar 2003, p.67]

It won't blow you away the first time, but it eventually will.

It’s the first solo Sprout album that doesn’t seem to lack from Pollard’s input.
-
While the sound here is undeniably on the lo-fi side of the spectrum, the arrangements and production on the album seem more carefully crafted. The result is Sprout's best album in years.
