Entertainment WeeklyExquisitely moody songs alternate with instrumentals that sound like outtakes from the Mothers of Invention's Burnt Weeny Sandwich (that's a compliment). [25 Jan 2002, p.107]

It's another Merritt CD that's so good, it could radically alter the world if it was broadcast from the moon.

Q MagazineA superb piece of work. [Apr 2002, p.117]

The album is surprisingly consistent despite its unbalanced components.

Certainly it's not as important or ambitious as his principal projects, but on the other hand there's less of the clever ostentatiousness that can sometimes drive you up the wall.
