    As perfect pop goes, the Januaries hit all the right exotic buttons. Their songs bubble with Stereolab's bop-ba-bop melodies, glide effortlessly on Saint Etienne's dance-savvy '60s pop, and float on Air's variety-show timelessness. [12/2000, p.99]

  2. All Music Guide
    80
    Sleek, sensual, and retro-futuristic, the Januaries' self-titled debut fuses smooth, Bacharach-inspired pop, '60s rock, and slinky trip-hop elements into a surprising and distinctive collection of songs.
  3. MTV.com
    80
    The Januaries is a most promising first effort.
  4. Almost Cool
    60
    Radio-friendly pop music that sometimes sounds like Garbage, and other times even more playful.
