Reviews"...one of our finest lyricists turns in a virtuoso performance....This is classic Cure. Three listens and you'll love it.", 7 out of 10 - "...reopens their career, replays it, and finds it worthy of reinvigoration....It is the dark, dense core of Smith's psyche, and a reminder that The Cure are at their fearsome best when creating soundscapes awash with uncertainty and dread...", 3 stars out of 5 - "...This gently undulating homage to catatonia is something of a gem - crisply layered, quietly hypnotic, with a comfortingly Cure-ish middle eight of crazy-paving Les Dawson piano. Hooray!, "...The Cure has become formidable once more...returning to form, basking in an introspective lyrical intensity that's mirrored by a brooding, gritty, guitar-driven dankness....it approaches the top of the group's heap of classic records...", 3 stars out of 5 - "...It's in every crotchet a Cure album....in the simple truths of its clammy love songs and sweeping guitars of 'Maybe Someday' and, in particular, 'Watching Me Fall'...", "...a poignant song cycle, on which introspective numbers speak of endings and departures with a resonant midlife melancholy - and an implicit sense of hope - making this one of the band's most affecting works." - Rating: A-
