Jonathan McGowan, hotpress.com:
"This album represents a wonderful synthesis between the whispered, haunting beauty of Irish traditional music, the enflamed, aggravated anarchy of punk and the mournful yet exuberant songwriting of the bard of decadence, Shane MacGowan. A truly sociological reflection of the times, produced by a band of misfits and miscreants, brought together by forced emigration, solidified by a profound rejection of conventional societal wisdom, and above all, unified by a love of music that provided us with a timeless masterpiece, a whirling dervish of aural delight."
