  1. True to form, this third record pootles around before, ultimately, achieving lift-off.

    As this flits from widescreen country soul to palpitating Meat Loaf theatrics, the overriding impression is of a band that's having a blast. [July 2008, p.99]
  3. At a time when labelmates (and, in the minds of the UK music press, rivals) the Coral are seemingly at a bit of a musical crossroads, the Zutons have made the album that delivers on their early promise.
  4. Its eclecticism does make for disjointed listening though, which almost distracts from their songwriting skills. But ultimately it's all so assuredly done that The Zutons make it almost impossible to not be swept along for the ride.

    Much better than their sophomore effort. Very solid, and some nice work on this one.

    What happened? Their first cd was so good... I know who killed The Zutons... themselves.
