Christopher Arnott wrote in the New Haven Advocate: "An instant indie sensation. This unassuming pop disk struck the Advocate offices like a windstorm and regularly is trotted out to lift our spirits. That’s because these Californian Britpop poseurs capture both the raw exhiliration and the world-weariness of classic Kinks and other righteous pop acts with the uncanny ability to unleash both introspective and extroverted rock emotions at once" ("CD Reviews," 10/26/06).
A very strong album, with attitude reminiscent of bands like Arctic Monkeys while the level of musical sophistication brought late-period Beatles to one listener's mind. The booklet art features stuffed animals from the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.
