With dashes of Nick Cave darkness, surf-guitar twang, ugly '60s pop and Velvet Underground-y noise, the Raveonettes offer more variations on the dense tuned-down sound that's overtaking America.

Q MagazineIt really is hard to distinguish between the eight tracks here, but when a theme's this good, the variants are never going to be a problem. [Mar 2003, p.113]
-
MojoThis band could, and should, go mega. [Jan 2003, p.99]
-
A scrappy little album that at times has a frustrating same-y-ness to it, but with each of the disc's tunes lasting no longer than three minutes, the Raveonettes' proto-punk formula never outstays its welcome.
-
A Sonic Youth sneer, VU drone, and the Jesus & Mary Chain fuzz-tone shackling.
-
UncutA rockabilly Jesus And Mary Chain. [Mar 2003, p.114]
-
SpinWhile most of the music on Whip It On is somewhere in the vicinity of cool, the vocals sound like two people trying out for a Jesus and Mary Chain tribute band. [Jan 2003, p.101]
