Rolling Stone (p.176) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[I]t's a testament to his mastery of Southern-gothic atmosphere that his banjo, melodica and pedal steel musings on Jesus and haunted love never fail to raise goosebumps."
Entertainment Weekly (p.89) - "White conjures lost souls drifting through a mythical nation of pawnshops and cheap motels, his voice a sensual whisper over their rattling bones." - Grade: A
Uncut (p.76) - Ranked #37 in Uncut's "Best New Albums of 2004" - "[The] songs continue to observe the Southern culture that engulfs him with equal fascination and repulsion."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.92) - 4 stars out of 5 - "The South seems a place outside of chronological time, and so do Jim White's albums. However much intellect and outsiderness he brings to them, he is still clearly gripped by his homeland's dark, dreamy chaos."

2001年、デヴィッド・バーン主宰のルアカ・バップから発表されたアルバム『No Such Place』が話題を呼んだジム・ホワイトの新作。砂埃煙るなかにユラリと浮かんでくるような、トリッピ-・アメリカン・ルーツ・ミュージックに鼓膜がジワリと汗ばむ。アメリカの田舎町に連れていかれるようなこの感覚は、今作のプロデューサーでもあるジョー・ヘンリーの作品にも通じるもの。エイミー・マン、M・ウォードの参加にも注目。
