Delusions of Adequacy
"[You Me & Iowa] sits comfortably between The Beach Boys and Of Montreal, skirting the psychedelic electronica of the latter and erring on the side of a Harvard educated version of the former[...]Like an older, slightly more cynical Vampire Weekend, these boys fill this album to the brim with catchy hooks, tight harmonies and snappy guitar riffs."
Amplifier Magazine
"Driven by tightly interlocked guitar and keyboard lines, the Los Angeles-based quintet's effective blend of danceable pop melodies is adorned with Andrew Carroll's vocals, which sometimes follow the lead of David Byrne and Paul Simon."
Flaunt Magazine
"This is guitar/keyboard based rock with sweet harmonies, catchy melodies, spirited percussion, and slightly psychedelic leanings. The disc is just a short eight songs long, but each track bristles with sonic freshness and seems complete in itself."
Pop Matters
"Every summer must be accompanied by an album [...] This summer, it’s The Adventures of You Me & Iowa."
"An album that never slows, sinks, or ever sounds anything like any other band on the scene."
The Source Weekly
"[The Adventures of You Me & Iowa] is sure to unleash their fresh sound to the nation and world, unveiling LA's best kept secret."
