Reviews6 out of 10 - "...synths trade coy smooches, guitars wobble like sun-stroked XTC fans and harmonies soar like...balloons...", "...Densely-made pop....a mix of brassy pop and Eurotrash glam....another promising entry on Neko Case's burgeoning musicla resume...", "...Brims with the Band's Capriciously Eccentric New Wave Punk Sound...", "...An insanely contagious concoction of new wave, Cheap Trick, and garage-glam pandemonium...a perfect pop album..." - Rating: A, 8 out of 10 - "...Brains-across-the-dashboard power pop....A group experiment gone right - rock where the beat and the ideas come faster than you'd expect...", 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...A striking power-pop album, 40 staggeringly catchy minutes of 4-part harmonies and Wall Of Sound production, exploding with energy and joy...", 4 stars out of 5 - "....A ferocious blend of riotous fun and epiphany perched on the edge of despair...", 3 Out of 5 Stars-"...Charmingly Poppy...And Contagious...", "Powerhouse Neko Case fronts the windows-down surge of 'Letter From an Occupant' and the title-track; and Destroyer’s Dan Bejar leads quirkier deep cuts like 'Breakin’ the Law.'", Included in Magnet's "20 Best Albums of 2001"., "...A new wave-meets-Built To Spill opus....with epic, tempo-trading b-sections....there's no kitsch here and enough depth to convert even the most jaded anti-popster.", 4 out of 5 - "...A masterful reproduction of underground power pop ca. 1979, complete with cheesy synths and slashing guitar leads..."
