“a confident follow-up that contains a tighter and more cutting version of Waiting for a Miracle’s alluring insularity, is certainly more powerful, and is also a greater achievement. Here, the Comsat Angels became one of the era’s most exceptional bands. The album turns out to be neither as pop nor as fast, with a majority of the material playing out at a dirge-like pace. However the dynamics of the album become increasingly perceptible with each play, and the slowest, austerest passages begin to seem as intense as the few that slam and punch.” - Andy Kellman, AllMusic
