“Crushing chronic chords with the dyne-rhythm section to fuel it all, are not only still here, but stronger than ever”. –No Depression

“Everything in Smithereens’ world is like a film noir shot in psychedelic colors. But this New Jersey band has a talent for creating fresh variations that prevent dust or mist from clouding their music. ‘Smithereens 2011’ reaches a peak with the song that opens the album, the sour-tempered yet utterly transporting ‘Sorry.’” -Ken Tucker, NPR

“Wholly satisfying blast of classic Smithereens songcraft and melodicism, colored with Pat DiNizio’s impassioned vocals, Jim Babjak’s thick-toned, stinging guitar, Dennis Diken’s imaginative, powerful drum work and Severo ‘The Thrilla’ Jornacion’s stylish bass. The entire collection sounds like a return to The Smithereens’ mid-to-late ’80s glory years, both song and performance-wise.” –GoldmineMagazine

“And2011‘s songs the songs! vintage! Picks up whereGreen Thoughtsleft off.” –Pop Dose
