SpinThere isn't a tune on No Cities Left, the Dears' gorgeous second album, that's not pitched at a minor state of emergency. [Jan 2005, p.99]

Sad music has never sounded so uplifting.
-
FilterAn astoundingly complex, deeply evocative pop record. [#13, p.98]
-
Theres a bit too much flab on No Cities Left for it to be the truly great album it aspires to be.
