    Skeletal, fragmented, stumblebum, Kim and Kelley retain their knack for righting themselves with a tuneburst just when you thought they'd never do the limbo again.
  2. New Musical Express (NME)

    It's the sound of experimentation working, it's what what the second Elastica album should have sounded like, and it's a compelling story unfolding, with many more interesting twists still to come.
  3. Neumu.net

    There's a lot of empty space in these songs, the better to focus on Kim and Kelley's up-front vocal harmonies and classically off-kilter lyrical ideas.

    Title TK isn't awful, but it's too zoned out to draw you in. [Jun 2002, p.71]

    I would venture to say that "Off You" is the most beautiful song of Deal's career. A laid-back, lonely, lovely record.

    If I could give it a negative score, I would. Could not believe how badly this sounds. I would have tossed it out of my car window if it weren't littering. Don't waste your time!… Expand
