Entertainment Reviews:

Entertainment Weekly - 1/30/98, p.65

"Prolific Glaswegian trio the Pastels trot out another avant lo-fi opus....The delicate free-form guitar noodlings (featuring guests for Teenage Fanclub and Luna) evolve into melodies that meander. One fears the whole delightfully complex composition could collapse at any time." - Rating: B+

Magnet - 1-2/98, pp.76-77

"...most of the songs adhere to the band's primary aesthetic--structure maintained by washes of tremelo, off-key vocals, jangle and loose drumming..."

Melody Maker - 10/18/97, p.50

"...The Pastels' most ambitious record to date, less grounded via the traditional Pastel lolling chord change....dizzy with ambition....Listen and be inspired."

NME (Magazine) - 10/11/97, p.54

7 (out of 10) - "...The Pastels haven't changed....The hits might hurt, but when you've got songs with the intricate, lasting appeal of these, who wants them?"
