"Any one of the five has a musical pedigree that you can only admire, collectively they work superbly together and it makes for a stunning sound (which they call Celtic Gypsy Klezmer) melding Scottish/Irish folk, gypsy and Eastern European tunes and rhythms ... The publicity material is unusually self-deprecating and, of many gems, my favourite is the description of Cormac Byrne's bodhran playing as complex morse-code-based rhythm patterns which he broadcasts from his bedroom to try and contact the intergalactic Space Dodos. You can only be this irreverent about your playing if you are very good or if you're sufficiently novice that you're unaware of it. Dodo Street are definitely not a band of novices"

"Throughout the album, it's their absolute mastery of the instruments that shines through. While the virtuosity on display is breath-taking, it is the way that musical expertise is combined with a streak of anarchic fun that makes the album so entertaining. Humour pervades all aspects of the album and, so far as the sleeve text is concerned, the helpful inclusion of a dictionary definition of fake news gives fair warning. Don't believe all you read, just listen to music that is both imaginative and rewarding and ponder how much fun these five musical geniuses must have had when making it"
