Q - 8/96, p.141
4 Stars - Excellent - "...it deserves a frame in the great British gallery of indie classics....gorgeous examples of jangly bedst pop, decorated by Harriet Wheeler's dulcet tones....a sweet, sexy, sticky toffe pudding of a record..."

NME (Magazine) - 6/1/96, p.46
0 (out of 10) - "...Harriet Wheeler's breathily emotive vocals and...pristine pop...once made The Sundays one of the biggest indie bands on the planet..."
Paste (magazine) - "While Seattle may have been a noisy place in the early '90s, there were plenty of pockets of mellow for lovers of independent music, and few as were as memorable as Harriet Wheeler and David Gavurin's band from Bristol, England."
