  1. And even though Sing-Sing's elements of homage lead to some songs more underdeveloped than charmingly minimal, the duo never sounds less than bright and engaged.
  2. Under The Radar
    80
    Brilliantly combines classic pop, fuzzy guitar effects, and electronic music into an effervescent cohesion. [#12, p.93]
  3. It's much more stripped-down and loose compared to the glossy polish of The Joy of Sing-Sing.
  4. New Musical Express (NME)
    70
    A mini-classic of magpie pop. [21 Jan 2006, p.35]
  5. Their sophomore effort might be a touch inconsistent, but by keeping things simple and sticking to their strengths, Anderson and O’Neill make us all wish that they don’t take so long putting out album number three.
  6. Sing-Sing is as out of sync with 2006 as Lush was in sync with the shoegazing early 1990s.
  7. Paste Magazine
    60
    Call it Trip-Pop. [Apr/May 2006, p.117]
  8. Magnet
    50
    THe duo has undeniable songstress skills, but it delivers its flawless melodies with the enthusiasm of a sewing circle. [#71, p.113]
  9. Q Magazine
    40
    Oddly muted. [Feb 2006, p.104]
  10. Uncut
    40
    It's an odd confection, part digitally-lush Spector-pop, part Dido-esque thirtysomething ennui. [Feb 2006, p.68]
  11. Urb
    40
    [A] rather perplexing, albeit tame ride. [Mar 2006, p.118]
