Spin - p.79
"Two instrumentals, a sea chantey, strange electronic instruments, and sounds literally designed for pets....Indie and prog rock both start here..."
Entertainment Weekly - 12/12/97, p.84

Musician - 2/98, p.88
"...presenting the landmark recording in a stereo environment for the first time is a revelation, with previouisly 'hidden' parts suddenly leaping into the foreground....among the most stunning aspects of the remodeled PET SOUNDS is its dramatically improved fidelity..."
Mojo (Publisher) - 9/99, p.118
"You may have heard of this promising combo. Here's one of their earlier albums, and word is it's quite good. The neat wrinkle is that you get the album twice, once in original mono and once in that new-fangled stereo everyone's talking about..."
