    Low on booty-shaking but high on atmosphere. [June 2002, p.119]

    This sees David finally jettisoning his twee heritage for a filmic kitsch. [Jun 2002, p.116]

  3. Almost Cool
    60
    The Snare works well at moments and at other times feels like a rather tepid trip-hop release from a band still developing their sound.
  5. PopMatters
    40
    An album that lacks its own distinctive voice.
  6. AllMusic
    40
    Looper drops their bright playfulness for a sophisticated, darker counterpart which uses jazz, R&B, and trip-hop as its foundation.
  7. The A.V. Club
    40
    With the murmured, strictly cadenced vocals, The Snare resembles an especially wan, uninspired rap record.
