"I liked this one a lot more, second time around, and that is the sure sign of a good record. Carly Rae continues to positively surprise me, both by the quality and by the energy of her music."

"It's not a "return to form" unless the word "form" means Evergreen or What Are You Going to Do With Your Life, but to be fair, those were good albums. This one is significantly better (and darker) than The Fountain or Meteorites, and much better than I would have expected, even though I've been a fan of theirs since the beginning. They're not pretending to be young and hip like they were in the 80s, but they're not doing folk music, either. Very solid, well-made, well-written album."
