    Everything -- from the vocals to the production -- is top-notch, and the record is a glittering late-career triumph.

    It is a little heavier on the electric-piano than the louche post-punkers' previous outings, with Diaphanous, Map Of The Night Sky and Out Sweet Sould reaching out toward the baroque, Coral-style musical theatre that defined Bid's records as Scarlet's Well. [May 2026, p.89]

    Rich in reference to Greek mythology, teeming with restless spirits in various stages of rapture and sorrow. All this might suggest heaviness, but the music is unfailingly rhythmic and melodic, often sophisticated. [Apr 2026, p.79]

    Bid's songs are as dapper as ever, their concatenation of light-footed pop, bossa and la variete winsome and delightful. [Jun 2026, p.33]
