  1. Pitchfork

    In their slightly glib mastery of pop-song forms, and their apparent belief that great pop music can be forged through sheer force of will, Cut Off Your Hands sometimes recall Bloc Party. The difference, thankfully, is that Nick Johnston seems far more appraochable and grounded.
  2. Rolling Stone
    60
    Glowing tunes about romance and childhood memories abound on You and I, a hopped-up album of caffeinated power pop that is spiked with a lot of youthful kvetching.
  3. Under The Radar
    60
    Through it’s lean 39-minute run time, You & I holds strong to a keen sense of melody. [Winter 2009]

    You and I's stranger moments reveal that Cut Off Your Hands have more personality than the album's more tasteful songs suggest.
