5 stars out of 5 - "...There are still only two of them, but now they sound like an army....Equal measure of Lightnin' Hopkins' crude strum, Marc Bolan's sequined boogie and the cut-'n'-thrust song hooks of the Buzzcocks..."Spin - 5/03, pp.107-8

Ranked #1 in CMJ's "Top 10 of 2003"CMJ - 04/07/03, p.8
