"This is Lou's best work since Bakesale. A ton of songs mostly all acoustic and all great. It's sorta a comp of Lou's work but it does come off as an album which is a good thing, you can listen to this thing from start to finish(and I do alot)and it sounds as if it was meant to be an album. I love Lou's work in Sebadoh, Sentridoh and in Folk Implosion and even though he didn't write the songs he even made Dinosaur Jr sound better."

"this is the first lou barlow related full-length release since the folk implosion's 1999 masterpiece "one part lullaby," a length of time that was previusly unheard of in the songwriter's canon.
this record fits in well with lou's other sentridoh releases, and continues in the same vein as 1995's "winning losers."
his songwriting style has continued to evolve, and is now more straightforward than ever, yet continues to captivate and connect with the listener in the way only lou can.
in the sentridoh catalog ("original losing losers," "winning losers," "...and friends," "wasted pieces," "most of the worst," and "23 songs" (a comp.) plus various 7" and compilations), there is not a more immediately accessible disc. pick it up if you're new to this side of lou."
