Critical reception

[edit]

Trouser Press wrote: "Both playful indie-poppers and studious chamber ensemble, Lullaby maps a course through ten songs, establishing and contrasting melodies, building acoustic walls of sound more akin to My Bloody Valentine than Mazzy Star."[4] Exclaim! thought that Lullaby for the Working Class "have fully descended into over-orchestrated meaninglessness."[5]
