Power

"Don't Make It Hard on Yourself and On Your Own are the best of the beginning, offering visions of loneliness that are raised up by beautiful melodies. Here the style is evocative of Laurel Canyon rock, tricked up with bubbling digital percussion and eerie effects. Sequoia is the best example of the latter part of the album, an almost impenetrable jumble of lyrics such as: "Mother of my child, we don't need petroleum here." Again, however, it's a musical tribute to California, and tips its hat to the harmonics of the Beach Boys (by way of Animal Collective). Some might feel the arched eyebrows undermine the sincerity, but either way, this is a recording with its fair share of memorable music".

"Stemningen holder ikke helt til de mere med-vilje-rustne ballader Don't Make It Hard... og Sequoia, som virker som flade fyldnumre i kontrast til albummets stærkeste sange. Den enkle stille sang Thing of Beauty rammer dog plet med sin uprætentiøse facon og fremstiller Garetts vokal fra sin allerbedste side. Titelsangen The Power nikker ærbødigt mod Beatles-lyden, som med uuh-kor mellemtempo-melankoli sidst på pladen giver et nostalgisk vindpust hen over de digitale flader".
