  1. A.M. may pick up some takers for fans of both protagonists' main bands but there is little here that will tempt the casual listener.
  2. Perhaps once Magnetic Morning figures out where they want to be, what the listener should expect is something more than a pleasant trip with some great moments, which is what this is now. Maybe they’ll get a record that appeals to all the waking world as well.
  3. Uncut

    Only really worth investigating if you already own everything by the constituents' day-job acts. [Aug 2009, p.109]
  5. There's that unmistakable "side project" air surrounding this record, the sense that this is just an enjoyable way to wile away time during hiatuses in other endeavors.
