    A vast improvement over their first record, Rilo Kiley ditches her baby doll voice in favor of a more raw emotional voice complete with powerful guitar instrumentals.

    An old-school indie-rock disc reminiscent of Bettie Serveert, Rainer Maria, and Liz Phair.

    Producer Mike Mogis [gives] these delicate songs a sheen that was lacking on their 2001 debut. [Jul 2003, p.114]
