“a great record, stacked to the gills with great songs. Meriel Barham’s sporadic contributions provide a fine spoil to those of Ian Masters. The mid-tempo moodiness of “Thread of Light” benefits from Jones’ excellent treatment of her voice. Masters’ love for the abandonment of rock constructs strikes upon a zenith on “Hair Shoes,” a drumless cluster of limpidly jousting guitars that simultaneously jiggle, rattle, moan, twinkle, and reverberate.” - Andy Kellman, AllMusic
