"When Promise shines, as it does on the bustle of 'Boys' or the torch-lit stateliness of 'Trick Of The Light' it’s as timelessly cheering as anything (lee) Mavers may have locked away in his mad genius attic." NME

"Combining a Fab Four ear for short, sharp Merseybeat and a willingness to psych out…they deserve their devoted following and will surely see it grow." Sunday Times Culture 'Breaking Band'

"That such a wonderful album can still be made is heartening." Teletext
