  1. Alternative Press
    80
    Despite the variety and many obvious influences... the Greenhornes leave their own unique fingerprint on every song. [Feb 2006, p.126]
  2. Sewed Soles makes out decently for a greatest hits disc.
  3. As a primer on The Greenhornes, Sewed Soles works best.
  4. New Musical Express (NME)
    40
    This is pedestrian, derivative twaddle of the lowest order that embarasses both the '60s and the recent revival fad. [21 Jan 2006, p.33]
  5. Reconstituted garage rock was thought to be losing appeal, but in the genre the Greenhornes make a strong claim to be your new favourite band.
  6. Under The Radar
    70
    Provides a fitting overview. [#12, p.96]
  7. Urb
    70
    Has all the signs of a band of epic, pop potential. [Jan/Feb 2006, p.94]

    The funniest thing about the critics reviews above is the NME - this ridiculous summation sums up everything that most music lovers already The funniest thing about the critics reviews above is the NME - this ridiculous summation sums up everything that most music lovers already know about this pathetic publication. And they have the gall to push crap like the Arctic Monkeys, Kaiser Chiefs - Ha Ha Ha! Meanwhile, the Greenhornes is great - honest, passionate and totally rock n roll. This is an excellent compilation and has already motivated me to explore their other albums. Full Review »
