"Oyster Cuts is a softly triumphant album, one that replaces the noncommittal vagueness that plagues so much indie rock with songs that tackle difficult feelings directly. It's a sound as beautiful as it is weary, and one that gets better the more involved you become with it".
"The album gets slower and more atmospheric in its last four songs, almost garnering a new aesthetic from the first six. However, Oyster Cuts is a laudable effort for Quivers' big time label debut".
