    This is a brilliantly buoyant and wonderfully charming record that'll suit almost every mood.
  2. Entertainment Weekly
    83
    Space-age pop that cunningly combines bossa nova languidity with Beach Boys-style lushness.
  3. No Ripcord
    60
    The Bird and the Bee end up sounding like the soundtrack to some glossy drama about a bunch of over privileged kids living in Notting Hill.

    caught b&b warming up 4 l. allen at ef in phila. 4/10/07. they did most of their album. reminded me of a hs talent show performance where b&b would neither win, place nor show. TRULY F'N HORRIBLE. lead "singer" ("whisperer") had skirt so short i eyeballed her lunchbox. this assembly, i refuse to call it a band, was so insanely talentless that words fail. save yourself a burn & burn your $ before buying this record. sucks > ramoras.… Expand
