    The hooks don't let up, the instrumentation provides the kind of sly surprise a pop listener wants from a three-minute gem, and the vocals have just enough grit to convey a darker lyrical tone. [No.87 p.59]

    With Shy Pursuit, they've harnessed their nearly 20-year career to craft their pop masterwork.

    Shy Pursuit is not completely monotonous--it moves through a handful of styles as well. [Jun 2012, p.158]

    Taken as a whole Shy Pursuit feels like a flat amalgamation of post-millennial indie-pop tropes clean-cut from the quirks and charms of their creators.
