    The songs are mature but not boring; nicely layered but not overproduced; well executed but not sterile. [May 2006, p.164]

    Compared to Maritime's ragged debut, Glass Floor, the new record is a fountain of confidence, forgoing its predecessor's fussy arrangements for simple structures and big hooks.

    Maritime won't be able to distinguish themselves from others, but they have an amazing ability to create songs like "Tearing Up the Oxygen," which as a pop-play on words with a sense of realism. [Apr 2006, p.97]

    Pop perfection: this is a brilliant album, and a massive improvement over "Glass Floor." Has to be one of the year's best.
