    Gentle and majestic, this album it truly beautiful. It is modern and original, with lush lyrics, perfectly harmonised vocals, and haunting guitars-this is one you wont be able to take off the player!

    This record that can push one to drive on the wrong side of the road without noticing or blinking an eye. Albini is at his best creating a lush grit that could not be replicated by any other producer. The songs are simply human.

    Great, forever. A record who pushes Low's boundaries in their quest to amplify the modesty of our souls. Pure beauty - fucking emo. Word up.

    Just plain beautiful... carefully harmonized vocals and pellucid guitar hooks that rarely lapse into merely languid melodies. [2/16/2001, p.98]

    It's impossible to discern whether Mimi Parker's newfound assertiveness as a harmony singer was inspired by, or the inspiration for, this more aggressive batch of songs, but it's this record's signal grace. [Apr 2001, p.158]

    It's not too ambitious to suggest few other releases this year will match its grace, humanity and power.... A magnificent album.
