"Cronin stretches his legs to record a clean, ridiculously catchy song with tons of layers. It's the full scale of things that makes 'Apathy' so great-- the harmonies, the song structuring, the piles of instruments, but mostly, the anxious feeling that's strung throughout the song. It's a song with a lot to grab onto, and it's a killer introduction to Cronin as a solo artist." - Pitchfork

"The record packs a huge whollop in its three-minute garage-pop punches. Scraping its way through fuzz, jangle, slow burn motions and even a few psychedelic breakdowns, the record is nothing if not infectious; opening itself up wider with each play. In the truest sense of the word this is just a good record, one that's quickly jumping up our best of 2011 list and one that's not likely to leave the turntable soon." - Raven Sings the Blues

"Cronin is one of those artists that barely appear to be trying, yet every element is executed so naturally that you can tell this is really the result of a lifetime studying what rock 'n' roll is all about." - RCRD LBL

"Part Everly Brother, part feedback overlord." - Uncut
