Editorial Reviews ...The group is adept at charting accessible pop: The lush melodicism...recalls Gabriel-era Genesis....[signifies Steven Wilson's] desire to move away from his instrumental beginnings and pursue the possibilities of traditional songcraft. Magnet (08/01/1999)
...multifaceted, far-reaching albums that remind us the term prog...is short for progressive....[STUPID DREAM] plant Porcupine Tree squarely in the rock arena....Long live prog. Guitar Magazine (07/01/1999)
...the album confirms the band's growing ability to absorb its (mainly 70's) influences and creat a moody, romantic vision that's all its own... Mojo (04/01/1999)
