    Like Tindersticks without the strings, and with a better sense of vocal clarity, L'Altra is the kind of band whose releases would be best sold with some cheap red wine and a carton of cigarettes for those long, lonely nights in.
  2. AllMusic

    An undeniably pleasant and ultimately rewarding, if not immediately accessible, listen.
  3. Pitchfork

    A pleasant, atmospheric diversion.
  5. Alternative Press

    Slow and achingly graceful, L'Altra's mellow moods are welcome any time of day. [Jul 2002, p.76]
