Quickies

"... most of the tracks work just as intended, packing a short, sharp punch without requiring too much concentration. The quality may be a tad uneven, but in these frazzled times, Stephin Merritt's musical capsules will surely hit the spot for many indie fans".

"Quickies is the type of album that's packed with little details for the particularly devoted, while also brimming with enough of the Magnetic Fields' familiar charms to welcome those who haven't yet found an entry point into Merritt's increasingly vast discography".

"Sangene på 'Quickie' er lige så korte som på The Magnetic Fields' mesterværk '69 Love Songs' (1999) - fra 12 sekunder til to et halvt minut. Lidt frustrerende, når 'Love Gone Wrong' knap nok når at folde sig ud. Men det er også en del af charmen hos rock'n'roll-manden Stephin Merritt, hovedmanden bag projektet ... De 28 sange er effektfulde (og underlige) kærlighedsbreve på rockvers (...) Men sangene er generøse og bliver kun bedre og bedre".
