“Hyperbole is warranted. “Cruel Thing” is a thrilling, shiver-inducing torch song that condenses and focuses the Sharp Things’ best traits: their honkin’, eleven-members-strong sound, their savvy songwriting, and their infectious energy.” — All Music Guide

”’There Will Be Violins’ is one of those great album openers that’s about the album itself…It’s a statement of intent, and the intent is: this is not just another boring band with guitars.” —Working For The Clampdown

“Here Comes The Sharp Things brims with wistful words and lush, careful arrangements that offer stylistic nods back to the ‘60s. But this is no nostalgic trip; instead, the Sharp Things manage a fine balance of the old and the new, and the result is an earnest, aching, and often finely crafted timelessness.” —All Things Considered
