Sounds Like: "From the stark minimalism of 'Tempest' to the more lyrical work around it, the effect on the listener ranges from momentary disorientation to bracing excitement, but it's all really pretty, too, if sometimes stark and bare." AllMusic.com
"An album definitely worthy of investigation by devotees of 16 Horsepower or Tindersticks will find themselves held firmly in the clutch of GIANTfingers." RevolutionsUK.com
