    The only down side to the album are the three skit like tracks. The instrumentation is excellent and the vocals are suppurb.

    This is a great record skip the skits though The singing, especially that of Jennifer Charles is top notch and her lyrics are clever and spot on as well, Mike does a good job keeping pace, though letting himself be sensual is sometimes out of his reach, and he reverts back to being a jokey bellower

  1. While Nakamura is quite possibly one of the most accomplished beat processors in the realm of art hip-hop/electronica, his strict-composer approach on this project is occasionally inaccessible and at times unlistenable.

    Lovage's schtick wears pretty thin by album's end--but if it works like it's supposed to, you won't need to play it that long. [Feb 2002, p.108]
  3. Superficially, Lovage is a continuation of the Handsome Boy Modeling School aesthetic that collides HipHop, rock and electronica into an ironic hipster epic. [#213, p. 59]
