  1. All Music Guide
    80
    Our Cubehouse Still Rocks has no shortage of guitar firepower, and with tough six-string snarl dominating much of the album, these 16 songs have more than enough rock & roll muscle to give shape and power to Pollard's pop-flavored melodies.
  2. Pitchfork
    80
    Expertly paced, Cubehouse's highlights are judiciously spread out, its occasional down note always quickly offset by something more boisterous. It's the Spaceships' most consistent listen; with no lows to speak of, it's easy to see this becoming the go-to for fans.
  3. The A.V. Club
    75
    Our Cubehouse Still Rocks, while less varied than Zero To 99, and without the sourpuss charm of Planets Are Blasted, is an anthem-heavy affair that's both the band's best work to date and Pollard's most satisfying outing since From A Compound Eye.
  4. Under The Radar
    60
    The youthful vim and vigor channeled through that oft-referenced Who obsession is palpable. Which is part of the fun with Pollard.
