    With nary a glitch or bloop in sight, the blend turns out as playful Sascha funk(e) a la Drei Auf Drei dipped in Postalesque lyrical pop bliss. [#21, p.100]
  2. The rare techno album that's worth digging into.
  3. Some of the artist's best work to date.

    A melodic minimal techno record that's sunny rather than stark, emo(tional) rather than eerie. [Jul/Aug 2006, p.129]

    This is beautiful, baffling late-night music for shy boys and robots. [Aug 2006, p.108]

    Unsurprisingly, he's at his best when he's melding heartfelt lyrics with otherworldly noise. [Sep 2006, p.230]
  7. It's not quite focused enough to place among the best of his other work.
  8. Mistake may be a solid, somewhat complex electronic music release, but its nerdy precision has the tendency to render the melancholic, brooding melodies somewhat impotent.
  9. An album of tepid and stylistically muddled techno.
  10. Tamborello’s incorporated the extended song structures of minimal into his newer constructs without the genre’s scope for subtle detailing and nuanced alteration.
  11. Under The Radar

    Despite the proficiency and accomplishment of the arrangements, the album is simply too understated, repetitive, and blandly written to do much more than hold your attention. [Summer 2006]
