"Production and performance bristle with shiny hooks, delivered with a wonderful blend of smoothness and swagger. There are 12 perfectly honed tracks, spanning the hip hop blues flow of Elephant to tremulously self-lacerating piano ballad Overachiever. The perky Don't joyfully blends a grungy T-Rex glam stomp with layers of criss-crossing harmonies. Frankly, Marc Bolan is not an influence you expect to hear on an album branded Americana and it's the kind of incongruous detail that makes ears prick up with delight".

"They became known for their harmony singing and multi-instrumental work while working with their elder sister in the bluegrass and "progressive acoustic" band the Lovell Sisters, but now they are a duo they have decided to be grittier and edgier and show that they can rock out on guitars like the boys. So Rebecca concentrates on electric guitar, with occasional reminders of her mandolin work (though there's none of her excellent fiddle playing here), while Megan plays lap steel. Their bluesy rock songs such as Jailbait or Sugar High are slick but unremarkable, although the album is worth checking out for a batch of far more original tracks".
