christopherfMar 23, 2007Subtle and compelling melodies flawlessly played. Britta is also far easier to listen to than Dean. This album melts in your ears, not on the cd rack.

JeffBMar 21, 2007I'm a huge fan of anything Dean Wareham, but I have to say this album doesn't seem to have the depth as others. I miss being lost in Luna's dreamy-then-manic guitars, and the sultriness of L'Avventura. That said, I still give it an 8/10 and I'll listen over and over.

MattDMar 7, 2007As I often do, I disagree with Pitchfork here. The album isn't light - it's a thorough listen that reveals a mystical quality with modern sounding synthesizer meshing with unconventional but haunting harmonies.

GeneBMar 3, 2007Luna's albums were at times brilliant, at times meandering...Dean and Britta sometimes approach brilliance (with a whole different - dare we say - more mature sound), but never meander. Subtle quality, won't knock your socks off, but will have you coming back when you tire of more flashy things

ColinPMar 1, 2007A delightful listen reminsicent of a bygone era. Beautiful pop music and virtually flawless in execution.

RonaldWFeb 27, 2007More interesting and textured than L'Avventura, Dean and Britta prove that Luna fans don't have to fear the future after all.

Under The RadarThe arrangements almost entirely abandon the Velvets/Television electric guitar bedrock on which Luna was founded, instead adopting a basic structure of strummed acoustic guitar, spare orchestration, and burbling synths. [#16, p.90]
-
Arriving where Luna was already headed at their breakup, the album feels much more realized than that band ever did at their end.

Not a dud in the entire meticulous love letter to a da-do-ron-ron era.
