  2. Under The Radar
    80
    It’s a decided step forward, more confident and comfortable than they’ve ever sounded, and with (as always) a few unfortunate exceptions, an incredibly strong collection of songs. [Fall 2007, p.73]

  3. Q Magazine

    Its surreal mix of chamber-pop, electro-funk and avant-garde noise is well executed, but it's so scatter shot, that, ultimately, it frustrates. [Nov 2007, p.137]

    There’s plenty in the way of ambition on Widow City, but little substance to back it up.
