    The album as a whole sweeps across a broad range of stylistic tones, maintaining levity while dabbling in comparably serious musical pursuits. [Aug 200, p.146]

    The whole thing possesses the air of a woozy reverie, a gentle disengagement from reality. [Jun 2007, p.162]

    The eight tracks here defy formula, instead feeding off of one another in a cannibalistic frenzy of samples and constantly shifting beats... This is a deceptive and brilliant album. [#147, p.98]

    As the follow-up to 1997's III, Effector succintly incorporates that disc's pristine sheen and futuristic atmospherics, while moving into more quirky, funk-laden territory. [12/2000, p.94]

    On this disc, which collects tracks from three limited-edition singles and adds a few bonus cuts, the group shows their range even more effectively through carefully (and wisely) chosen covers.

    Lyrically, Dowdalls covers familiar turf for the genre, mostly using the album's runtime to either lament or skewer past loves. It's perfectly appropriate and expected, but not as impactful as some of the recent works by TTNY's peers.
