  1. Dot Music
    80
    There's a gleefully fluid rock'n'roll dynamic driving this whole record, more evocative of modern-day US psychedelic reprobates The Dandy Warhols or The Brain Jonestown Massacre, rather than students trying to be clever.
  2. Spin
    70
    Roan coaxes with an almost deliriously euphoric art-rock swagger, while O'Connor infuses every track with hedonistic energy. Amazing Baby are desperate to dazzle--and they often do.
  3. Urb
    90
    Needless to say, for a band only formed in January 2008, not only is this release very ambitious, but also well meticulously well crafted.
  5. Uncut
    80
    A frequently startling record of no little beauty--which threatens to launch a new, esoteric generation of Williamsburg wonders.
  6. Drowned In Sound
    80
    All of the time, Will Roan's vocal proves to be the most engaging aspect of Rewild, even at its least explosive.
  7. Under The Radar
    70
    Rewild shimmers like the best T. Rex tracks and rip through the raw power of acid rock during its 47 minute running time. [Summer 2009, p.64]

    Rewild is how an average debut album should pan out. It might outstrip its ambition and wear its influences too blatantly, but Amazing Baby could be something special once it all clicks.

    Rewild is sophisticated, beautiful, mesmerizing. The more you listen, the more levels you find. Stunning.
