"Feels like a recurring but beautiful nightmare that you can't wake up from, with poppy elements and post-rock conventions interspersed throughout. Cancer, hospitals, unwanted pregnancies aside, this record is packed with run-together depressing-yet-beautiful songs that make you forget they're individual tracks on one album" (Alison Geisler, "50 Nifty Records from '09," New Haven Advocate, 12/23/09).
