All told, it's incredible this is a debut album. Accomplished, yet subtle, it works perfectly as a whole in a way all the production skills in the world couldn't replicate.

Entertainment WeeklyThis is dreamy, regretful pop with melodies that dog you like a missed opportunity. [11/17/2000, p.127]

Their debut album's secret arsenal comprises frontman Chris Martin's voice - prematurely aged for someone in their early twenties - and some supple, persuasive melodies. That and a great big side order of melancholy.

MagnetMusically, the quartet is borderline worthless. [#48, p.84]
