    Flat. Boring. Couple of decent songs I already forgot.

    Perhaps this slightly bland direction is one that Matt Pond PA was always headed making this record a totally expected arrival point. But somehow their earlier brand of chamber pop, full of lush strings, and Pond's cloying but touching lyrics seemed to promise something a little more than the pedestrian virtues of Several Arrows Later.

    Pond's songs are the alt-rock equivalent of what used to be called New Yorker short stories: subtly realized domestic epiphanies often involving tame nature imagery.

    A lush, relaxing listen. [Jan/Feb 2006, p.103]
