CRITIC REVIEWS

70
AllMusic

It's still a verdant, imaginative, lush, and occasionally unsettling work that hits the sweet spot more often than it misses its mark, and while it may not shake the rafters, it most certainly fills up the room with sound.

70
NME

The Kiwis just about keep their eye on the ball with another set of all-killer no-filler songs that sees their psych-flecked indie pop rolled into 75 minutes of madness.

70
DIY

Where ‘Fandango’ truly excels is in its clutch of engaging, sweeping AOR pop redolent of the less grandiose stand of progressive rock.

Had The Phoenix Foundation left, say, a third of this on the cutting room floor, we’d all be better off.

50
PopMatters

Despite all the foreboding sound effects, changes in tempo, twists and turns, only a few tracks take hold.
