Spin - 6/01, p.154
8 out of 10 - "...A Bizarro-world revision of early Rod Stewart, grumbling the ghostly gospel in constipated groans....[It] cuts like a feather across the flesh..."
Uncut - p.118
3 stars out of 5 -- "[D]ownhome narrative is replaced by haunting lyrical obfuscation and an engagingly organic, field-recording feel that encompasses banjo, synthesizers and rudimentary electronics."
Magnet - 6-7/01, p.82
"...Califone's music is about as complex as it gets....It's the soundtrack of the human condition..."
Mojo (Publisher) - p.114
4 stars out of 5 -- "The eight musicians here contribute to a house style that's just the sensuous side of ramshackle."
Mojo (Publisher) - 9/01, p.96
"...This comes close to Tim Rutili's fixation with producing the perfect fusion of trad American folk-blues and hi-tech electronica..."
