Rolling Stone

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]heir latest offers two straight hours of spook-house drones, battering-ram guitar blasts and Michael Gira's howled imperatives about love, sex and death."

Spin

"'Love' is the first word on the album; love is its center of gravity. The record positively swims in it."

Magnet

"[A] record that hits as hard as their brutal early work, but with a clear sense of control, and an intricate shapeliness, that makes the album as rewarding second-by-second as it is impressive as a unit."

Mojo (Publisher) - p.90

4 stars out of 5 -- "[W]hat we have here is two hours of the most majestically art-damaged rock."
Paste (magazine) - "They make grand edifices, massive monuments to volume, melody, rhythm and raw power."
