NO RIPCORD
John Agnello has helped Vile to refine his lo-fi aesthetic and at times Smoke Ring For My Halo sounds nothing short of stunning.
84
PITCHFORK
This feels like a family of songs, one whose complexion and course changes as a whole with every spin.
70
POPMATTERS
On a whole, Smoke Ring for My Halo works because it has both lilting atmosphere and a rumbling, if trudging, pulse.
70
CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
The unexpected twists in melody throughout the record nicely balance the more repetitive strains.

MUSICOMH
Where past albums touched upon all manners of influences and genres, Smoke Ring For My Halo seems content to plant its flag into barren soil.

TINY MIX TAPES
The LP marks the first time Vile has seemed utterly unsure of himself.
