Reviews7 Out of 10-"...Their Most Well-Rounded Effort Yet....Frustrating. Stubborn. but Always Charming.", 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Beyond anything else they've ever acheived....taking in elements of Beck...the staccato-assault of Fugazi...and the taut punk of Wire...and Built To Spill without the penchant for big Sabbath guitar solos...", 3 stars out of 5 - "...Literate post-grunge pop....They seem capable of managing the journey towards the mainstream...", 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...They show they can find microscopic humanity even within the most expansive spaces.", "...One of the Year's Most Oddly Endearing Records...", Included in Cmj's "Best of the Year" for 2000., "...A dark album that shines very brightly....It's rare to hear a band that has a unique, absorbing sound...", "...As vocalist/guitarist, Issac Brock's internal mania is unleashed in the lyrics, the music is at once pop, punk, psychedelic and rootsy, filled with frantic, bending moments that coalesce into expansive interludes...", 3 out of 5 - "...Their most complex recording to date....proving that they are still experimenting with their sound and approach....it's nice to see them taking new paths at this stage. It's a very dark album..."
