This is certainly no party album, and its colours are almost exclusively monochrome, but its majesty reigns supreme. [Sep 2005, p.112]- Q Magazine

So no, it's not perfect. But Whatever People Say... has that edge, that thrill that comes only when a band have hit the zeitgeist hard and timed the punch to perfection. [Mar 2006, p.102]- Q Magazine

Follows a smilar pattern to 2003's Monday At The Hug And Pint, fleshing out their deceptively simple songs with expanded arrangements and quicker tempos. [Dec 2005, p.148]- Q Magazine

Strives a little too hard to display their twitching eclecticism. [Feb 2006, p.101]- Q Magazine

The fact they're doing this in their early 20s verges on the astonishing. [Mar 2006, p.111]- Q Magazine

Everett comes on here like a less grizzled Tom Waits with a side order of Kurt Weill. [Apr 2006, p.113]- Q Magazine

So migraine-inducing that the Crazy Frog would seem like light relief. [May 2006, p.129]- Q Magazine

There is something dispiriting about trawling through so many songs which show glimpses of lucidity, even brilliance, but always seem to either nod off or descend into chaos by the end. [Jan 2006, p.120]- Q Magazine

Crackles with the cocky, hormonal exuberance of youth: it's a profoundly teenage album. [Aug 2005, p.126]- Q Magazine

The wild rhythms, unusual arrangements and often manic energy of the selections here still resonate. [Jan 2006, p.139]- Q Magazine

The presence of more filler than is comfortable does not detract from the creative health in evidence on the better songs. [Feb 2006, p.100]- Q Magazine

Tunstall has Norah Jones's throaty catch, Dido's warmth, plus a winning way with a soaring chorus. [Jan 2005, p.130]- Q Magazine

Well crafted, easy-on-the-ear janglepop which chugs along in a jaunty fashion. [Mar 2006, p.108]- Q Magazine

Impressively, all this is delivered with sufficient panache to make it sound fresh and exciting, rather than merely eager to please. [Jun 2004, p.105]- Q Magazine

Intricate yet funky, it mostly comes together to mesmeric effect. [Mar 2006, p.111]- Q Magazine

Even if... it never quite adds up to more than the sum of its parts, it's never less than a pleasure to listen to. [Apr 2006, p.119]- Q Magazine

Three tracks in you realise with horror that [it] is a concept album. Worse, it's a concept album of kitchen-sink dramas about Tony The Milkman and Doris The Housewife set to Saint Etienne's dated indie disco. [Jul 2005, p.120]- Q Magazine
