“It’s good to be a Sharp Things fan.” — The Big Takeover

“Galapagos is eye-opening in seizing Perry Serpa’s sprawling, elaborate, delectable collective’s dynamism. It sure makes you wish you were there!”

“Simply jaw-on-the-floor beautiful! The Truth is Like the Sun boasts some of the best songs in the band’s nearly 15 years together.”
— Blurt

“One of the more intriguing releases in quite some time…seamlessly stitches together dozens of different influences into a cohesive quilt of modern pop…not a bum track out of ten!”
— Pop That Goes Crunch!

“This album is rich, deep, full, and at times revelatory. And yet wasn’t recorded in a studio! This is Orchestral Pop of the highest order. It’s The Mamas and the Papas with strings. It’s a more contemporary, less preachy Blood Sweat and Tears.” —Berkeley Place

“The orchestration suits the songs beautifully…Serpa’s lyrics are literate, witty and touching in equal measure…One of the best listens of the year!” —musicOMH

“True fans of pop folk will find this obscure gem and simply wear their copy out by playing it constantly.” —All Music Guide
