"While TV Baby has its quota of apathy in lyrics, the outcome is a feel-good set of tracks that sound like an intimate garage rehearsal, in the best sense of the term. Yet they also could belong in a 1990s high school or college movie soundtrack, such as 10 Things I Hate About You (1999). Which is as praising as it can be - just like it intends to be, the Toronto band's debut LP is as simple and entertaining as good TV".
