    Their bouncily hummable tunes and tortured lyrics about girls might evoke thoughts of groups like Weezer, but these guys aren't nerd-rock clones.

    The first pleasant surprise of 2004.
  3. Playlouder

    While there is a fair fetter of kook in here – it’s hard to sing histrionically and American and have a wirbly organ thing without sounding a little trite - this desire to geek out is mixed with a warm and thoughtful structural progression that, while never breaking the gasp-o-meter, makes for a pleasing enough debut.

    Better records lie in their future, doubtless, but this is a very promising, very charming glimmer. [May 2004, p.104]
