The AU Review
A bright and confident step forward by the band. It both stays true to the bands roots, but also shows a band not afraid to experiment and adapt

There’s a multitude of instruments that contribute handsomely to the band’s pleasingly effortless sound - mandolins, trumpets, and xylophones (always a good thing) all make an appearance through the album’s 12 tracks

Drowned In Sound
This elegiac ode to times gone by is filled to the rafters with wit, charm, guile and all those things that seem to have disappeared from modern life. Rooms Filled with Light is as big an incitement as any to try and find them again

The Irish Times
Most of their songs seem to fizzle out feebly, lacking the ingredient needed to make a memorable tune instead of a collection of passably pleasant ones
