Critical reaction to Vehicles & Animals was generally positive. Review aggregator Metacritic, which assigns a normalised score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, awarded the album a rating of 63 based on 17 reviews, suggesting "generally favorable reviews".[4] Time Out called the album a "gloriously understated and wonderfully consistent debut".[5] Playlouder gave the record four out of five, hailing the tracks as "impeccably polished radio-friendly gems"[6]The Times similarly labelled the album a "British pop gem". Ben Gilbert of Dotmusic gave the album seven out of ten, describing the album as a "promising debut".[7]

Accolades

In 2003 the album was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize, an annual award honouring the year's best albums from the UK and Ireland – the prize was ultimately won by Boy in Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal. In December, British music magazine Q named Vehicles & Animals as the 32nd best album released that year, calling it "the year's best wobbly indie-rock album".[8] In April 2005, the album was awarded platinum certification by the British Phonographic Industry for having sold over 300,000 units in the UK.
