    In lieu of Mary's recent tragic death, Sound-Dust must be recognized as the greatest achievement of this lineup and as the most superbly crafted and enveloping of the groop's LPs.

    By far Stereolab's most interesting and emotional work. Amazing structural development, with interesting polyrhythms. The brilliance of this is hidden just below the surface. Don't listen to the lazy critics who overlook this album.

    Can you believe Stereolab singer Mary Hansen in dead? I still can't believe it. They are such an innovative band and it is such a tragic loss. Anyhow, Sound-Dust is amazing. Check it out!

    Stereolab once again produces an incredible original sound that allows for the mind to soar.

    A disappointment compared with their action-packed output of the late '90s. [Fall 2001, p.136]
  2. CDNow

    An optimistic-feeling, playful record that recalls the jazzy-edged sunshine and beat pop of the '60s.

    A major rebirth, relegating the chirpy melodies to expedients, relying less on Sadier's monotone singing, and reaching for new formats within the group's formidable compositional skills.
