"Unfortunately, Scott is more often than not lyrically uninteresting, as truisms like "Isolation can be such a bore" don't add much color. None of that's to say Scott is a lightweight; this LP's issues stem from a type of loner-stoner self-consciousness that's going to trouble anyone afflicted by it, no matter how strong his chord progressions and melodies are. (Full disclosure, though: The chord progressions and melodies here are pretty strong.)".

"While the melodies jump out of Melbourne and immediately assert themselves-- "Any Way" is the giddiest two-minute rock song you'll hear this year-- Scott disguises his voice by pitch-shifting the vocals into various distorted shapes. It's an intermittently successful approach, equal parts creepy and annoying, but the gimmickry adds little to the songs, which are strong enough to benefit from greater clarity and a more confident delivery. Scott already has his songwriting tools in place; once he finds his voice, look out".
