Reception
Ben Thompson of The Guardian wrote, "This remorselessly entertaining debut album from the Baltimore-based laptop star will take you on a reckless joyride. Filtering the doo-wop aesthetic of Sha Na Na through the celestial aspirations of 'Electricity'-era OMD, Deacon's judicious blend of gleefully simplistic pop melodies, overloading old-school keyboard sounds and unfettered mass hysteria climaxes in the 12-minute epic 'Wham City'." The single from this album, "The Crystal Cat," was #84 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007,No byline (December 11, 2007). "The 100 Best Songs of 2007" Rolling Stone. Retrieved 2007-12-21 and "Wham City" was #30 on Pitchfork's "Top 100 Tracks of 2007."
