What some critics have had to say about For Sanity's Sake:

"This is a very professional disc with impressively cohesive pop songwriting, resonating like modern rockers such as Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes and Wilco." - Recoil Magazine

"Upbeat sing-a-long jams that will remind you of The Stones, The Promise Ring, and The Shins." - Crossroads of America Records

"My bet is that with a little time and exposure, Natural Monuments will end up on a too-cool label like Merge... then Pitchfork will love them." - The Black and White Magazine
