ReviewsRanked #25 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums of 2007in- "Their Most Elegant Collection Yet...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The tug-of-war between bristly unavailability and candid confession mirrors a musical duel between post-punk snarls and genial pop charms.....Endlessly compelling.", Included in Rolling Stone's "50 Top Albums of the Year 2007" -- "Spoon sound a lot like the very British, mid-Eighties XTC -- with the right amount of gravel in their paisley.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "This is their most systematically infectious set yet....'Finer Feelings' turns on a subtly seductive guitar figure that is the quintessence of tone and touch.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Listen afresh to Spoon now hitting all their marks: The poignancy of such instrumental minimalism, the emotional weight of Daniel's odd phrasings, the seeming nonchalance.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Spiky, painstakingly detailed songs that deliver indie-pop payloads in less than four minutes...", "With an arsenal of hand claps, Motown-lifted tambourine bursts, music-hall piano lines, and bass levels that hover in the red." -- Grade: A-
