“It isn’t just another good James record – it’s their best. It’s their tightest, freshest, most contemporary batch of songs, weatherproofed to stand the test of time. From the dizzily uplifting “Space,” a Brian Eno-influenced and produced song, to the glacially sparse ballad “Alaskan Pipeline,” the perfectly titled record is fresh-faced enough to sound like a band high on being in a studio together for the first time, but the material and the execution is too focused, too mature to sound like a rookie effort. With this clutch of alternate reality Top Ten singles strung together in the disguise of a flowing record, they’re making the modern pop charts look hopelessly feeble. Songs of adulthood, parenthood, and addiction have rarely sounded this exciting.” - Andy Kellman, AllMusic
