    So while Walls generally finds An Horse treading water, enjoyably enough for the most part, it also suggests that they've arrived at a slight impasse as to how to proceed from here; how to balance artistic development and expansion with the youthful urgency and directness that has marked their best moments, at least so far.

    Distance may have added lyrical inspiration, but the songs seem a little incomplete.

    For every captivating thing here, like the chiming, excited "Dressed Sharply", there are far too many songs that are frozen at mid-tempo, leaving the album feeling too uniform to leave much of an impression, either in individual moments or as a whole.

    The album's bare bones setup fails to surpass other (better) examples of fizzy indie-pop. [May 2011, p.88]
