    These are two distinctively different sounding EPs but they are successfully united by Condon's never-failing trademarks: wonderful vocal lines, linear melodic patterns and that soothing voice.

    The ensuing synthetic pop suite can't disguise a crucial lack of memorable songs. [Mar 2009, p.111]

    There seems to be something unsettlingly artifical about the whole Beirut project, as if idea man Zach Condon is playing some strange cultural appropriation game for which he's the only one privy to the rules.
