  1. Fans who have stayed with the band this long will probably find the album a breath of fresh air.
  2. There probably won't be another piece of music like it this year. But then, maybe there shouldn't be.
  3. Alternative Press
    70
    Another genre-bending album full of scavenged sounds. [July 2003, p.113]
  4. Magnet
    70
    A batch of 10 songs you really need to spend some time with to appreciate. [#59, p.97]
  5. Ultimately, Precollection probably isn’t the kind of release to greatly expand its influence over the throngs of the unconverted, but it should be more than a welcome advance for those already convinced of Heasley’s obviously remarkable gifts.
  6. It's rather spotty (both in production and songwriting) and unfocused.
  7. An impressive, mature effort that expands a predictable Brit-pop sound into something with varied textures, shades and nuance.
