Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "There are passages of gorgeous dreampop, splintering rock and space-drone, culminating in the epic 'The Story Of Yo La Tengo'...", "Jubilant brass-backed jams rub shoulders with various staples of the YLT stable: heartrending harmonizers, jazz/pop parfaits and droning, palindromic bookends that never want to end...", "Drummer Georgia Hubley's twee musings subsequently make the perfect complement to her husband/frontman Ira Kaplan's brown-acid, WHITE ALBUM lullabies.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Ira Kaplan's crew opts for diversity, flitting gracefully from ornery psychobilly to falsetto soul to twinkling folk rock.", "Yo La Tengo know how to craft the classic pop song, but they're also keyed in to the world of jazz and rock improvisation, utilising both armouries with equal efficacy.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "They begin and end the album with high-energy psychedelic guitar trances that break the ten-minute barrier without dragging for a second.", Ranked #36 in Rolling Stone's "The Top 50 Albums Of 2006" -- "This is the most effortlessly spectacular music Yo La Tengo have made in years.", "Two freakouts neatly bookend some of the most winsome songs ever recorded by the trio. Clearly, Yo La Tengo aren't aging gracefully -- just abnormally well.", "The palette's expanded; horn arrangements and lonely strings spike their familiar bass-drum-guitar-keyboard mix, and they even pull off some vintage R&B moves." -- Grade: A
