Alternative PressThere's a fine line between vintage rock revision and progressive insight--Hammond Jr. has mastered the balance. [Aug 2008, p.170]
-
Working more closely with his band, Hammond has given his songs more dimension, and the ambition.
-
It's another solid collection that echoes his day job from an artful distance.
-
¿Cómo Te Llama? is best when the songs seem to shake and quaver within their candy-coated shells; fittingly, that’s when they’re at their Strokes-iest.
-
The fact that Hammond can’t actually sing that well is rendered practically obsolete on this album; his hazy drawl may not be the strongest in the world, but it suits these songs just fine.
-
Overall it’s a solid sophomore effort, and certainly good enough to tide Strokes fans over until that band’s next release.
-
Mojo¿Cómo Te Llama? is not a bad record, just so unrelentingly average that you wonder how in this age of music biz recession, it could be worth anyone's 14.99. [Aug 2008, p.112]
