"This Seattle band grooves to a strange psychedelic Britpop vibe, taking in some experimental sounds and structures on the way ... There are melodic leaps towards shifting structures that ride down towards solid ground before rollercoastering up to new heights. With some help in the studio from Voyager One's Jeramy Koepping, Sneaky Thieves slide from a Jeremy Enigk melancholy to a Jeff Buckley grace, sometimes with a Sparklehorse inventiveness, and still manage to keep a grasp on a consistent theme through to the end." The Big Takeover
"...frontman Freddy Bale's voice is an intriguing mix between Nick Cave and Conor Oberst's (but minus Oberst's shakiness).... The album is slow and mellow, and at first listen, inviting. But once concentration veers toward the lyrics it morphs into a captivating, dark set of songs..." (Highest rating) CMJ
