"This unexpected and tragic turn of events remains undetectable in the album. As single "Dorian" goes to show, Surfer Blood are in no danger of leaving behind the trade-mark hazy, sun-drenched nostalgia that perfuses their sound. Couched in the language of Beach-Boy guitar riffs and the pot-smoking indolence of Best Coast, 1000 Palms uses this bitter-sweet, sunshine-infused sense of longing as the base from which to blend a multitude of shades of nostalgic yearning. This LP is, when you break it down, simply a collection of orthodox love songs".

"1000 Palms fails to be more than nice. "Feast-Famine" and "Saber-Tooth & Bone" are enjoyable but not especially memorable, while the lilting melodies on "Covered Wagons" and "Into Catacombs" are virtually interchangeable. The sweet acoustic closing track "NW Passage" is a standout, if only because it sounds distinctive compared to what came before it. Surfer Blood have regained their freedom with 1000 Palms; next time, they need to do something interesting with it".
