  1. Quixotic was one of the best albums [in] Europe last year and Anything will be one of the best here in 2004.
  2. Fresh and imaginative, "Anything" is one intoxicating recording.
  3. If it disappoints, it is largely in sounding like a fine record from six or more years ago.

    More distinctive than the arrangements, though, are Topley-Bird's utterly unique vocals. [Sep 2004, p.117]
  5. Of course, if you really care for Topley-Bird, you're going to want the full-length U.K. album. But if you just want a great album, Anything will not disappoint.

    It gets better as it goes along: 5 of the last 6 tracks are very good.
