8 out of 10 - "...Fuller melodies without upsetting their delicate filigree....Low create the uncanny confluence of melody and melancholy..."
"Advancing from slo-core to just plain beautiful, [Low] build their latest around carefully harmonized vocals and pellucid guitar hooks that rarely lapse into merely languid melodies..." - Rating: A-
4 out of 5 - "...An ezquisite lethargy prevails....Pianos and violins providing tasteful accents..."
"...Low is the heaviest band in rock....'Heavy' as in a measure of tension and philosophical gravity that relates to the way it 'feels'..."
Ranked #19 in Wire's "50 Records of the Year 2001".
"...An understated stunner....Low's music needs neither force nor speed to deliver its emotionally exacting message."
Ranked #18 in Mojo's "Best [40] Albums of 2001".
"...Quintessential Low: stately, sepulchral, notes perfectly judges and elegantly sustained, stalked by metronomic sadness....these are the best songs of [their] quiet career."
Ranked #24 in NME's 50 "Albums Of the Year 2001".
9 out of 10 - "...There is life here, wide-eyed and immeasurable. [It's] music that can both swell the heart like a gospel tune and capture the amplified absence of a funeral parlor. It's difficult to imagine a more perfect expression of their vision than this."
