    Sure, Pocket Radio is quirky... but that's what pop is about in the 21st century. [#50, p.94]
  2. His pop smarts are sharp and bright, but never too flashy.... A very impressive debut.

    While not weighty or moody or even all that original at times, you can say one thing: Leroy's Beck-cum-brit-pop at least knows how to entertain better than most of what Carl Craig's put out lately. [Jul 2001, p.82]

    It's the lighthearted nature of it all that makes it work so well...
  5. There are a few key moments of guilty pleasure, and the overall aesthetic of the record is appealing on the surface. But underneath the scratchy record sounds and the canned Casiotones, Fountenberry hasn't got enough substance to sustain him for ten minutes, let alone the length of an entire album.
