    Incredible album. I don't know how it could be rated so low by All Music Guide. I love it.

    The Starlight Mints weren't excessively ambitious in the studio and the coolness of Built on Squares makes for a pleasant listen while capturing a band in the making.

    Packs more moods and minx-like mischief than many albums twice its length. [Jul 2003, p.114]

    Mix[es] xylophones, spaghetti-Western trumpets, and quirky trick guitars to sweeping effect. [Jun 2003, p.109]
