Editorial Reviews 3 out of 5 - ...Masters of the tiny orchestra sound....this sounds more like Blue Note than Too Pure... Alternative Press (12/01/2000)
7 out of 10 - ...Fractured and spindly, plundering post-rock and jazz and dub, without really sounding like any of them... NME (11/04/2000)
...Electronically enhanced, French-inspired ambient pop created by analog synthesizers, Theramin, zither, toy pianos, accordions and an assortment of woodwinds....Rosie Cuckson gives the album's lo-fi lounge-pop vibe a sense of delicate urgency... CMJ (09/18/2000)
3 stars out of 5 - ...One of the more imaginative exponents of post-rock operating on the fringes of the electronica scene... Uncut (10/01/2000)
