  1. Fugu might not be the most original band here but, aesthetically, they are extremely pleasing.... An enjoyable pop album.
  2. The Wire
    80
    Consistently entertaining. [#215, p.69]
  3. Grand and flirting at the same time with the ridiculous -- the kind of disc to listen to when you are in love.
  4. Uncut
    80
    Exceptional in its melodic prosperity and calculated grandeur. [Mar 2002, p.96]
  5. Although its quality and creativity never falter, as Fugu 1 goes on it becomes a little redundant.
  6. Mojo
    70
    Alluringly odd. [Mar 2002, p.112]
  7. Alternative Press
    70
    Should please sophisticated pop connoisseurs. [Nov 2001, p.85]
  8. A fairly nice little slab of French Anglo-pop, and pleasant reading accompaniment if you can reach the skip button from where you're sitting.

    Amazing album! Didn't totally get it on the first few listens but it has fast become my favourite album. If you like Brian Wilson's Amazing album! Didn't totally get it on the first few listens but it has fast become my favourite album. If you like Brian Wilson's SMiLE, then this is a must buy. Full Review »

    Occasionally brilliant, often excellent, occasionally grating.
