"...Grandiose, catchy, Spectorian wall-of-sound pop..."
"...Hearkens back to late-'60s pop and garage rock....With its plush production and openly melodic songwriting...it's pretty, diverse songs prove as engaging [as his former band, Husker Du's]."
8 out of 10 - "...excels even Hart's Husker [Du] heights....No longer consumed by his demons, [he] distils the angst into simple piano melody and spectral harmonies....never anything less than captivating....simple pop touches and hard-won wisdoms..."
