    "The Joy of Sing-Sing" is an aptly-titled delight aimed straight at alt-pop partisans.

    Underneath all those shiny, shiny flourishes and moddish overtones, though, is some seriously smart, witty music, for the most part.
  3. Armchair DJ

    A perfect overview for new initiates and packs plenty of surprises for hardcore fans.

    O'Neill's voice is so perfectly suited to the material that you can hear single spour forth like rain. [#56, p.109]

    Could easily have been the dullest, nicely produced thing in the world, if not for the fact that the songs are remarkably good.
  7. AllMusic

    The Joy of Sing-Sing is a divine first album -- fans will undoubtedly be delighted.
  8. PopMatters

    The Joy of Sing-Sing isn't deep music, and can start to sound awfully flighty during its 53-minute duration, but it's not entirely lightweight either.
