"This is a masterclass in how to purvey experimentalism without foregoing accessibility, and for that alone, Jonquil need to become huge" Clash
"The tone is deadpan and resonant, the voice more instrument than flowery embellishment, while the tenderness and fragility is left to the other musicians" The Wire
"The times i've seen Jonquil play live, its been in tiny, intimate venues in Oxford and they've inspired these mass sing-alongs each time... its pretty special to watch" Yannis Philippakis (Foals)
"Jonquil's efforts create the atmosphere in which one could slice through the air with a knife" Rock Sound
"The long, sweeping melodies that litter this LP are at times achingly perfect and the laid-back orchestration and bedroom production make for a humbling experience" Drowned in Sound
"Once in a while an album will come along and win us over before we’ve even had time to put something else on... Such is the case with Jonquil, an eclectic sextet whose new album is destined to be a word of mouth sensation" Foggy Notions
