| | Editorial reviews | 3 stars out of 5 - ...Their excellent debut is full of surfed-up WILD HONEY beauty, all piano, sad guitar, and Conor Deasy's wistful vocals...Spin (12/03, pp.131-3) - ...Like their true spiritual forebears, the Monkees, the Cali-channeling Thrills are happy mediums... - Grade: B+Entertainment Weekly (8/15/03, p.74) - ...[The Thrills channel] classic California rock with a shameless eye for detail... - Rating: B+Q (01/01/04, p.80) - Ranked #18 in Q's The 50 Best Albums of 2003 - [A] rolling, jangling harmony-drenched road trip through '60s and '70s Americana.Mojo (01/01/04, p.56) - Ranked #37 in Mojo's The Best of 2003 - An act of love for '60s Californian pop...Uncut (01/04, pp.84-7) - Ranked #64 in Uncut's Albums Of The Year 2003Magnet (2/04, p.95) - What's astounding is that the Thrills have nailed the relaxed, easy-like-Sunday-morning sound of a drive down Highway 61 circa 1969 like no other band in recent memory...CMJ (10/6/03, p.4) - ...Summery harmonies, lazy West Coast melodies, breezy '70s retroisms....How strange, then, [that the Thrills are] full-blooded Irishmen...
