Critical reception

edit

The Washington Post wrote that "the New York-based quintet employs a sparser, more open sound that even turns jazzy for the album's final track, 'November'."[10] The Hartford Courant called the album "[Richard] Butler's most varied and interesting work in more than a decade."[11] The Los Angeles Times praised the "harder edge that lies closer to post-punk and industrial rock than the atmospheric sonic layers of the Furs style."[12] Phoenix New Times wrote that "there's a sense the aging New Waver is still full of himself, but when [Butler's] glancing, observational lyrics blend with his inherently melancholy vocals, the results make for as poetic an expression as you'll find in the pop-music bins."[13]
