    The end result is a quieted, more suppressed record that steps delicately from one note to the next and shines even more of a spotlight on the twin vocal sentiments of longing and crumbled romance.

    It may not hit the listener over the head with theatrics or tormented confessions, but the subdued and personal nature of Church's songs here allow for a more intimate connection than on any Sea Wolf material that came before.

    Sea Wolf's latest crafts a retrospective piece that lingers just long enough to instill in the listener an undeniable poignancy.

    This isn't meant to be a record to set the world on fire, it's a record meant to capture specific set of places and feelings, which it does wonderfully.

    While it's enjoyable for what it is, you can't help but wonder where all the songs went when after an half-hour or so, you recall literally nothing. [Oct 2012, p.92]

    The result is a fine collection of Coldplay B-sides.
