  1. 9.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    A Sunny Day In Glasgow have stumbled into rich, virgin soil...Easily the blissful equal of jj or Memory Tapes, A Sunny Day In Glasgow are diffuse enough to avoid easy classification

  2. 8.3 |   Pitchfork

    Draws you in by offering outstanding moments in strange contexts; you'll re-listen to hear specific pieces even though you're unable to remember exactly when and how they occur.

  3. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Schizophrenic, surreal and fantastic

  4. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    Even if Ashes Grammar drifts quite nicely as a whole – best listened to it with eyes closed in a meditative position – it seems most appropriate for the short attention span generation. In their short yet complex career, A Sunny Day in Glasgow have found enough leverage to embrace their individuality.

  5. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Even though Ashes Grammar is a slight stumble for them, I have no doubt that a band with such obvious potential will be back with an impressively honed follow-up.

  6. 6.0 |   The Quietus

    A single idea - to sound a bit like the Cocteau Twins - teased out and lacquered with echo, until it collapses under its own weight.

  7. 5.0 |   NME

    There are hot flushes of brilliance here but they are few and far between.
