"Knopf’s unpredictable melodies and funky orchestral arrangements (played by 35 indie- rock acquaintances!) keep tracks like “I Say Fever” and “Always Right” lively, resulting in an album that leans more toward epic than emo." - SPIN

 

"In fact, of the various Menomena side projects, this is the one that most matches that band in terms of both sound and quality, paying meticulous attention to sonic and compositional details." - Pitchfork

 

"Knopf crafts the same kind of cerebral pop songs that made his former band so successful, but voice as a songwriter shines through in a way it never did before, unencumbered by Menomena’s inherently collaborative nature." - Seattle Weekly

 

"The emotion is palpable, whether the arrangements are dark, eerie or airy." - American Songwriter
