"This e.e. cummings-quoting quintet gushes candid emotion without downshifting into grandstanding corniness. Tucking cello and violin arrangements into charming rock songs, Ra Ra Riot’s debut triumphs because it never oversteps its own ambition."  (Giant)

"Fantastic. A lock for one of the best of the year."  (Washington Post)

"At once grand and intimate. With moments of pop savvy reminiscent of their pals in Vampire Weekend and the emotional subtlety of the Shins, Ra Ra Riot's songs inhabit a space that is both bubbly and bittersweet."  (Pitchforkmedia.com)
