    Saint Etienne's latest album is masterful: fanatically detailed, intelligent and swimming in lovely melodies and delicious electronic bleeps... easily one of the year's standout albums. [#46, p.90]

    They've made a dreamy set suffused with synth bleeps and strings, nodding to Eno, Abba, and U.K. electro-soul peers Everything but the Girl.

    What a gorgeous and sophisticated pop album. Saint Etienne's best album, by far.

    Very good. Their most sonically adventurous effort since So tough, although it reuires more attention. One of their best.
