SPIN review : 8 / 10

« The album’s success is based on a confluence of factors: Pallet’s thoughtful-Muppet of a voice, Christopher Cross with a hint of dolor; a mix that foregrounds percussive intensity as much as violins and violas; lyrics comprised of narrative, observation, and bon mots. To say that Brian Eno’s contributions on guitar and synth add little to what Pallett creates himself speaks to the achievement. »
