Review

Even though they're from France, the William Pears have that classic British pop sound down pat (think Beatles, Kinks, Squeeze, XTC, and the like). Power-pop and jangle-pop fetishists will find this a treat, while most other listeners are likely to consider it a bit redundant and formulaic. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
