A group this weird and quirky should be able to produce dozens of albums that never loose their delicious twee taste. Perhaps what FF should try next is trying nothing at all.- Urb

CYHSY seem to have set out to make their "important" sophomore record... which is only truly important if you believe that songs gain weight at the hand of bulbous studio wankage (they don't) and that unnecessarily inflated melodrama equals more fun (it doesn't). [Jan/Feb 2007, p.76]- Urb

The color palette Fatboy has assembled for this project—Justin Robertson, Martha Wainwright, Dizzee Rascal, Iggy Pop, and David Byrne, to name but a few--doesn’t trump the fact that musically, the BPA is mired in beats that smack of early 2000, if not the late ‘90s.- Urb

The whole act is a gimmick, for sure, and one that wears itself thin awfully quick. [Nov 2004, p.98]- Urb

The few standout tracks are in the beginning, making the rest of the album sound like a monotonous waste of your time. [May 2007, p.94]- Urb

The disc's most memorable moments come in the musical ideas left abandoned. [Sep/Oct 2007, p.130]- Urb

The dominating reggae rhythms sound thin and dynamic moments are rare. [May 2006, p.94]- Urb
