    The Eel Pie Islanders' sees the band mature as songwriters, which should attract the mainstream attention that's so overdue them.

    While it's a wiser and more weathered quintet that greets us in 2010, the Londoners return not bruised or broken but infinitely more polished and positively bursting with ideas, passion and optimism.
  3. PopMatters
    60
    The pure prettiness of the melodies tends to blur the songs together into one super-catchy super-song; gone is the texture, the songs are polished to transparency. The album is good but lacking something central to make it stick out in any way: everything is rounded off.
