"... a meticulously crafted and programmed set of songs about love and politics. The arrangements are more varied and generally edgier than the Eagles' easy-rolling songs ..."
- Rolling Stone
"This one makes you listen ... its abrupt shapes and electro/symphonic textures never whisper Eagles remake."
- Robert Christgau
