"The vocals are still split almost equally between Charlene Kaye and Allen Tate and alternate on a song-by-song basis. But San Fermin's storyline has been exchanged for generic signifiers ... The wearying volume of Jackrabbit is the most taxing aspect of a record that already arrives intentionally overstuffed. Ludwig-Leone has revealed himself to be a pop maximalist, as even the minute-long interludes are given to Backdraft-like bursts of horns and strings. Maybe the guy's heart is truly in theater, as Jackrabbit's overwrought spectacle unintentionally doubles as "Indie Rock in the Aughts: The Musical."".

"Vurdering: B-" - "If San Fermin's self-titled debut was an opera, its follow-up, Jackrabbit, is an anthology of music videos. Where San Fermin was bound by a unifying narrative, Jackrabbit`s songs come fast, hit hard, and disappear as quickly as they came. While Jackrabbit is a strong entry into the chamber pop genre, it is almost too pretty for its own good. It flirts with twee preciousness and never threatens to explode boundaries or leave a defining impact. That is, perhaps, a hefty request from a new band, but with the tremendous talent available, Jackrabbit leaves the listener wanting and expecting more".
