    A pop pin cushion that's incurably catchy, and as prickly as it is pretty. [Jun 2003, p.97]
  2. When I Pretend To Fall is a mature and nuanced work, full of well-crafted songs and superior musicianship.
  3. The Long Winters get happy on this one, and Roderick's vibrant, newfound confidence as a showman and songwriter allows the Long Winters' sound to finally gel.
