Entertainment Reviews:
Rolling Stone - 8/5/93, p.65
3.5 Stars - Very Good - "...visionary pop that ought to be a hit....It's Blondie without trash, each cut a delightful pop homage bestirring life-like memories..."Spin - 3/93, p.71
Highly Recommended - "...the record is a treat...the group achieves the near impossible and remakes England in its own wistful image....By turns elegiac and affecting, narcotic and uplifting, Saint E. sounds original and alive..."Q - 4/93, p.88
4 Stars - Excellent - "...a superb and strangely trippy sense of pop hooks....TOUGH is an inspired, evocative and quite beautiful London album..."Alternative Press - 7/93, p.87
"...Lusher but simultaneously harsher than FOXBASE ALPHA, SO TOUGH is danceable, singable, and in an ungushy kind of way, eminently fall-in-loveable...St. Etienne signpost the brightest future pop's possessed in years..."Melody Maker - 1/1/94, p.77
Ranked #33 in Melody Maker's list of the 'Albums Of The Year' for 1993.Q (Magazine) - p.123

"Ambitious multi-styled pop. It is impossible to remain unmoved by Hobart Paving."NME (Magazine) - 2/20/93, p.28
6 - Good - "...classic St. Etienne...contains moments of true wonderment...compares favourably with their debut..."Record Collector (magazine) - p.98
