Team Boo is Mates of State's best album to date.
-
It could be the most innocent, charming and believable record of 2003.
-
It's often a bit silly, always fun, and surprisingly inspired.
-
SpinIf the idea of an indie-rock Captain & Tennille appeals, there's a berth for you on their love boat. [Nov 2003, p.114]
-
So Team Boo turns out to be a surprisingly respectable junior-year effort-- one that puts Mates of State in the small minority of indie-pop bands that don't fall under the one-album-and-out rule.
-
MagnetThe previously skimpy instrumental backing has been beefed up at times with synthetic horn parts: a good idea. [#61, p.102]
-
Seeing as this is only their third album, they can still get away with redundancy as long as its head-bobbing, genial and oh-so-cute. And it is.
