Entertainment Reviews:
Spin - p.73
"[T]his is as straightforwardly evocative as abstract pop gets, with the hazy beauty and fractured narratives of a vintage Polaroid slide show."Entertainment Weekly - p.73
"[A] set of handsome art-pop songs full of last-call keyboards..." -- Grade: BUncut - p.87
4 stars out of 5 -- "Weather-beaten piano, wry sax, and her bluesy vocal recall Laura Nyro, and Friedberger's New York is similarly personal."Alternative Press - p.114
4 stars out of 5 -- "Eleanor Friedberger has one of the greatest voices in all of indie rock, and its front-and-center on songs that swing effortlessly from the gold-dusted funk of 'Roosevelt Island' to the click-clack pop of 'My Mistakes.'"Magnet - p.38
Ranked #17 in Magnet's '20 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "'I Wont' Fall Apart On You Tonight' may be the most exciting single track of the year."CMJ
"She captures the dreamy, sentimental experience of recalling past summers, at times romanticizing and at other times soberly reflecting."Paste (magazine) - "[T]he record's success lies in its ability to play up the way Friedberger meshes her speedy and borderline spoken-word verses with rich choruses..."
Pitchfork (Website) - "Simple but lovely piano melodies and richly mellow bass shepherd most of the tracks here..."
