    They felt that they had run their course and wished to bow out on a high note. They have done exactly that.

    There's a strangely disarming quality to Rose Windows' second album. [Jun 2015, p.80]

    If this is Rose Windows’ final farewell, it’s damned, and it’s good.

    Judging by Rose Windows’ now final album, the shame is that differences, whatever they were, could not be overcome because a growing, developing collection of musicians was just beginning to dent the consciousness of a much larger audience. Instead of eagerly anticipating their next move, we are therefore left to cling to their last hurrah.

    This is certainly a dead weird album; it may improve with time.

    There's little obvious mind expansion in these long-haired ruminations on modern living, but Rose Windows still have the power to lift listeners far out of the everyday. [Jun 2015, p.92]

    The album only features nine tracks, but somehow still contrives to feel over-long and lack cohesion.
