    The first essential album of the third millenium! well, essential only if you care about music.

    A worthwhile buy. The general consensus seems about right; this album is good, and offers up plenty of music of the calibre we've come to expect from idlewild, but there is no really stand-out track, nothing to challenge the listener. Still, a great return to form for Idlewild, and I'm looking forward to more in the future.

    More like the old Idlewild - not up to the standard of 100 Broken Widows, but a welcome and drastic improvement over Warnings/Promises

    Unlikely to win them many new fans, but for those, like me, who love the band this is another excellent, melodic release.

    Great improvement on Warnings/Promises almost as good as 100 Broken windows, but not quite

    Easily one of their best albums - tracks like Make Another World make me jump and cry for joy!

    Such inconsistency is forgivable on an overreaching debut, less so on a sixth album just 35 minutes in length.

    Sadly, there's little to propel them to radio ubiquity or challenge the Britrock big hitters, but then, maybe, that's the whole point. [Mar 2007, p.95]

    The powerful tunes make this an odd thing: a subtle album, fit for stadiums. [Mar 2007, p.83]
