    It's easily the most focused album of Schneider's career.
  2. Basically, the album plays out like hit song after hit song. Love or hate the new direction, the Apples have made a long, long career out of constantly changing and reliably creating songs and albums that overflow with hooks and happiness. This may be their hookiest, happiest album yet.

    1960s-obsessed power-poppers discover the '70s. Time travel indeed. [July 2010, p. 102]
  4. Asides for some duds, Schneider mostly hits his mark. [Spring 2010, p.68]

  1. Bias disclosure: I've been a big Apples fan since 2004. Regardless, I think this is one of their stronger efforts, and an uncharacteristic-sounding one at that. The album is essentially a love letter to ELO, another band I like. Catchy as always. Expand

    Most of the tracks on the record are forgettable pop tunes that make The Apples In Stereo look like travelers stuck in their own space and time, their own musical purgatory. Expand
