Chopper blades and police sirens pepper the album; indeed, shorn of this angsty hum, the by turns pastoral and metallic instrumental tracks pale. [Apr 2004, p.106]- Mojo

While their material lacks the instant hooks of attention-snaring contemporaries like The Handsome Family, [it] rings with a robust authenticity. [Jul 2003, p.112]- Mojo

Better records lie in their future, doubtless, but this is a very promising, very charming glimmer. [May 2004, p.104]- Mojo

It's similar to the debut.... But there's a more vivid light-and-shade to the textures and a craft and depth to the compositions that represent a welcome distillation of Jones' art. [Mar 2004, p.92]- Mojo

This has wit in spades, an irrepressible love of language and genuine originality. [Oct 2004, p.110]- Mojo

- Critic Score
This isn't a great departure from The Coral but mainman James Skelly's increasingly witty words and ear for a killer jig put this in a loveable place of its own. [Aug 2003, p.95]- Mojo
