 "Rather than pretending that they're the larger than life starsailors of their dreams, The Verve seem quite happy to occupy a lower rung on the psychedelic ladder. As a result, the fluid, freefalling guitar and tender bass produce the kind of vast, open-air sounscapes that could accompany a prachutist or a handglider. ...There's certainly no divide between the crowd and the band (they're slaves to the music as we are) and, when a few guys clamber onstage to do the open-mouthed flail, Richard just takes the opportunity to have a sit down and enjoy the gorgeously informal show." - MELODY MAKER
 

"Theirs is mantra music, or rock to veg out to, more closely related to Spiritualized than to Blur or Oasis. And when traditional showstopper 'Gravity Grave' finally dissolves in a welter of feedback, they've already reached so far out that an encore would just seem like an empty gesture. So they don't do one. The Verve - most definitely the genuine article." - SELECT
