"Assured-beyond-their-years San Diego quartet the Muslims will definitely get a lot of attention for their name, but we're much more interested in the band's catchy, sorta sloppy and stark post-punk-infused rock 'n' roll. They mix a kind of Strokes-y, and therefore VU, detachment and something that bumps in the night like Hell and his Voidoids (or, better yet, Hell and the Heartbreakers doing "Love Comes In Spurts"). You can also hear a bit of the Stooges -- not just because the band cites 'em, along with the Replacements, as an inspiration -- and early Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers (see "Future Rock," "On My Time," etc). Whatever the mix of forerunners, the Muslims find a way to make it their own -- it's kinda uncanny. - Stereogum.com

"Tracking down this record was one of the most interesting experiences I have endured in a long time, eventually culminating with me letting myself into Matty's (the Muslims' guitarist) house and picking up a copy of the LP from his dining room table. (Replacing it with a $10 bill, of course!). My brother who lives in San Diego (where the Muslims were based, though they now live in L.A.) tells me the album is in every record store. It's harder to find here in L.A. But the search for this album only makes me like it more. The album draws from my favorite elements of the Velvet Underground, blending the White Light / White Heat dissonant drone with the pure pop sensibilities of Loaded, while at the same time jangling like the Replacements or R.E.M. at their early eighties finest. The seven song record is one of my favorite albums to come out so far this year..." - Daniel Clodfelter, LA Record
