    Hit and miss. A few decent tunes, and some really boring ones. Dolores does have a good, unique voice, but the voice needs stronger music to buttress it.

    Wake Up... is the set of inspired anthems they needed to deliver in '96. [Oct/Nov 2001, p.103]

    The band sounds strong but derivative of its own best work.

    It's official: Dolores O'Riordan is rock's most vapid lyricist. [26 Oct 2001, p.125]
