The album was released to generally favourable reviews, garnering an average score of 74 out of 100 at aggregator website Metacritic.[7] Observer Music Monthly says that "these hard-nosed softies are unique and this, make no mistake, is their Definitely Maybe, the quintessential noise-pop set of the modern age."[18] Dot Music gave the album a glowing review, calling it "a gut punch of a debut, and one that makes you believe Glasvegas are one of those rare, rare bands who might just have that perfect record in them."[19] Likewise, the NME exclaimed, "So believe it: this is the real thing, no-one's crying wolf, not even Alan McGee."[13] Rolling Stone found that on the album "Glasvegas create wall-of-distortion melodrama that draws on The Jesus and Mary Chain, Sixties girl groups and The Velvet Underground's rain-dance pulse. It makes for a compelling blend of grays--lit by singer James Allan's high, bright hurrahs."[16] Spin proclaimed: "Glasgow quartet Glasvegas are a product of this world--frontman James Allan is even a former professional footballer--and their remarkable debut gives voice to its fears, frustrations, and heartaches without succumbing to its clichés."[17] Music critic Robert Christgau gave the album an A grade in his February 2009 MSN Consumer Guide column, describing the band as "too good to be true."[12]

In a mixed review, The New York Times remarked that "Glasvegas is determinedly provincial, insisting there is grandeur in everyday lives. But what sounds rousing in Britain can sound sodden and overwrought to American ears."[20] The Guardian concluded that "there are definitely failings and shortcomings on display here, but they're substantially outweighed by moments when Glasvegas hit their target with a force that makes you believe they might well survive the more outrageous claims being made on their behalf."[10]

Track listing

Song use in other media

The song "Daddy's Gone" featured in the episode "Chuck Versus the Dream Job" from the television show Chuck. The instrumental version of "Geraldine" has been used extensively worldwide (and predominately) for sports programmes. In 2008 the instrumental of "Geraldine" was also used in the UK trailer for The Damned United which was a fictionalised version of Brian Clough's tenure as manager of Leeds United and the full song featured in the documentary One Night In Turin which chronicled England's run in the 1990 FIFA World Cup. "It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry" is heard at the end of "Emily and Katie", an episode in the third series of Skins.

Artwork

The album's cover artwork was illustrated by Village Green based on ideas and concepts conceived by James Allan. The design is inspired by Vincent van Gogh's 1889 painting The Starry Night. James Allan favoured the comparison between the painting and the band's sound, for their "tranquility, but fury as well."[23]
