Reviews4 Stars - Excellent - "...a superb and strangely trippy sense of pop hooks....TOUGH is an inspired, evocative and quite beautiful London album...", "Ambitious Multi-Styled Pop. It Is Impossible to Remain Unmoved by Hobart Paving.", 4 Stars Out of 5 -- "Singles 'you're in a Bad Way' and Hobart Paving Stand Out...", Highly Recommended - "...the record is a treat...the group achieves the near impossible and remakes England in its own wistful image....By turns elegiac and affecting, narcotic and uplifting, Saint E. sounds original and alive...", 6 - Good - "...classic St. Etienne...contains moments of true wonderment...compares favourably with their debut...", Ranked #33 in Melody Maker's List of the `Albums of the Year' for 1993., "...Lusher but simultaneously harsher than FOXBASE ALPHA, SO TOUGH is danceable, singable, and in an ungushy kind of way, eminently fall-in-loveable...St. Etienne signpost the brightest future pop's possessed in years...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "It provides bona fide belters such as 'You're In A Bad Way,' alongside countless sound collages and swirling, half-heard samples and steals.", 3.5 Stars - Very Good - "...visionary pop that ought to be a hit....It's Blondie without trash, each cut a delightful pop homage bestirring life-like memories..."

Great album, the cd back in 93 came with a booklet and extra disc, should have been a double in my oh so humble.
