"While he may be an old dog with a pickled onion for a head, Mark E Smith and The Fall are still capable of learning the odd new trick. Find proof as Smith becomes Prestwich's own Jim Morrison on 'Chino', or in the drones that glue the record together." - bbc.co.uk/music

"Smith's singing – if it can be called such a thing – is his best in years. The caustic growl which marred the last couple of Fall albums has softened into something clearer and more intelligible." - musicomh.com

"Cherish him while he's here. We won't see his like again, and future generations will look back with considerable envy that we got to be around when an album that could so effectively eviscerate our expectations of what music is and can be was released by a band entering its fifth decade." - drownedinsound.com
