“A treasure trove for listeners whose tastes run to thoughtful composition and big-sound acoustics.” — MAGNET

“The performances have a warmth seldom seen and it’s highly recommended.”

Everything about this shimmering marvel just smacks of pure posh style. A positively beautiful jewel! — Jersey Beat

“One of the more intriguing releases in quite some time…seamlessly stitches together dozens of different influences into a cohesive quilt of modern pop…not a bum track out of ten!”
— Pop That Goes Crunch!

“Elegant and melodic, stately and graceful, this exquisitely lovely and harmonic album from a first-rate New York symphonic pop band stands tall as a beautifully lush, lulling and intricate work of sonic art.” —Jersey Beat

“Foxes and Hounds is a magnificent battle between the musically sweet and the lyrically sour, and the Sharp Things are indeed sharp — a serrated carving knife swaddled in velvet.” —The Oklahoman

“Gorgeous opener “I Will Always Be Swimming In This Sea” is Prince, Mercury Rev and Sgt Pepper-era Beatles, the epic “Vacationing” is Tom Waits, Todd Rundgren and even a little bit Coldplay, and the pained, soaring “Precious” is the Bad Seeds meets Philly soul with Talk Talk’s Mark Hollis on vocals. Delightful, the lot of it.” —NME
