Q (Magazine) (p.140) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]here's a naivety and nostalgia to his evocations of woozy times on Northern beaches that is uniquely loveable -- the perfect music for a summer's day." Mojo (Publisher) (p.102) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "For all his plugged-in joy, Noir's beatific mood harks back to a kinder, pre-electronic age -- one track's even named 'Good Old Vinyl.'"
