Rolling Stone (10/14/99, p.125) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...[a] deceptively casual vibe that hangs like humidity....The studio shadow play complements the core sound....Gomez's boho blues don't just shamble. They walk the walk." Spin (11/99, pp.191-2) - 8 out of 10 - "...a more confident continuation of [their debut BRING IT ON]....The Brit quintet continue to cross-stitch eclectic Americana with fibrilating electronica, dealing brief histories of black pop one moment, the best rehab rock ever the next..." Entertainment Weekly (9/24/99, p.146) - "...Simultaneously trippy and earthy songs...are shot through with a timeless, folksy impressionism. Better yet, all this tough-and-tender beauty comes complete with melodies and hookss." - Rating: A Q (1/00, p.85) - Included in Q Magazine's "50 Best Albums of 1999." Q (10/99, pp.112-3) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...more focused and, ultimately, better....pushes them towards a sort of semi-greatness....It shouldn't fit together (no Gomez song should in theory) but it does..." Alternative Press (11/99, pp.100-2) - 3 out of 5 - "...effectively communicate with a redundant artform and, ironically, it will win hearts and will be perceived as a new, vital force....a fabulous album..." Magnet (1-2/00, p.71) - "...[It's] best songs are built to last in a classic-rock kind of way....LIQUID SKIN is the sound of a new kind of urbanized, ultramodern blues..." CMJ (1/10/00, pp.4-5) - Ranked #13 in CMJ's "Top 30 Editorial Picks [for 1999] - "...a soulful and free-spirited group...evoking the timeless melodic and instrumental sensibilities of their blues, rock and folk forebears, while retaining their own organic musical identity." Mojo (Publisher) (1/00, p.31) - Ranked #24 in Mojo Magazine's "Best of 1999." Mojo (Publisher) (10/99, p.98) - "...the hidden strength of its tunes, the subtlety of its arrangements and the eloquence of its lyrics will eventually pull you in....it's obvious that Gomez have matured with unexpected speed..." NME (Magazine) (3/23/02, p.36) - 7 out of 10 - "...Make no mistake - LIQUID SKIN is a good album..."
