- ^ Allmusic review
- ^ It's all very simple, organic and, best of all, easy on the ears. [Oct 2004, p.140]
- ^ Zooming sheets of spacious wind-tunnel prog and raw, solo-spattered soul. Commercially, it's suicide. [26 Jun 2004, p.55]
- ^ Stirring but sombre stuff. [Aug 2004, p.86]
- ^ Pitchfork Media review
- ^ Contains some potentially highly commercial music, were it not for the underwhelming production. [Sep 2004, p.118]
