    A debut that, frustratingly, juggles promise and excess.
  2. AllMusic
    60
    There's still a kind of inconsistency in the development of Through the Windowpane, an inconsistency that can't quite work itself out in sweeping strings and vaguely dissonant chords, and unfortunately, this diminishes the power of what the album really could be.
