MojoThis one's got a whiff of the Stones' Black And Blue about it. [May 2006, p.98]

New Musical Express (NME)It's at its best on the likes of 'Blackened Blue Eyes', which... is a cousin of their classic 'One To Another.' [8 Apr 2006, p.41]

This is a groovy record from start to finish, with no major standout fantastic song and nothing that sucks.

Those already on the Charlatans bandwagon will likely enjoy enough of Simpatico to warrant its purchase, but there's no questioning that's its one of their weaker efforts.
