  1. New Musical Express (NME)
    90
    The funniest, most refreshing British debut in years.
  2. PopMatters
    90
    Might be one of the most original albums you'll ever hear.
  3. Playlouder
    60
    This is no whimsical, fey take on folk music, rather a bold, buoyant frug with the skeletons of The Doors, Teardrop Explodes and other likeminded explorers of the stoned side.
