Trouser Press called the album "a fascinating and delightful debut that jumps easily from intimate indie tunefulness (the vocals sound like Pavement) to free-fire pop noise, with plenty of wild and wonderful textures along the continuum."
Washington City Paper wrote: "Mixing the sonic textures of My Bloody Valentine with the rich melodies of Echo & the Bunnymen and angular, runaway rhythms,
Voices' layered brilliance was maniacally complex, immediately catchy, and refreshingly innovative."
The Times wrote that "for a generation of Irish music fans, the Dublin art-rock band Rollerskate Skinny's
Shoulder Voices (1993) was as important as Nirvana's
In Utero and Smashing Pumpkins'
Siamese Dream. ==Track listing==
