"On Flicker's best, Death and Vanilla transport the listener to a colorful dreamland where crafty bass lines, swirling keyboards, and dub-like guitars create a hypnotic vibe that is as beautiful as it is wistful ... Overall, Flicker is an excellent, if not totally innovative, album of crafty atmospheric dream-pop that is rich and full with upbeat melodies amid moody yet clever arrangements that may try some listener's patience as the songs' allure are not rapidly revealed. It may take a few spins before cozying up to the hazy charming magnetism that is Death and Vanilla".
