A French pop/psych treat for all! Record Collector said of the album: "French pop meets flower pop: April March is a highly talented individual who's collaborated with Brian Wilson and Quentin Tarantino, illustrated with Spiderman creator Steve Ditko, animated for Ren & Stimpy and here hooks up with film director and musician Hanft, harking back to classic 1960s French pop and West Coast psych. Marchs lyrical, melodic tones gently trip over each song, with Attention Cherie a study in tippy-toe French pop and Flashback Part II supplying more grit with simple March vocal stylings on a romantic bent. When Haft pipes up, even while claiming to be a Killer on the run., the atmosphere retains a sense of period innocence, with flowers a-plenty and sunshine beaming. 4 stars." The label said: "Tracking April March's movements is a complicated matter. She plays very few shows but packs them in when she does. Her songs, perhaps because of their hyper-originality and cinematic style, appear often in films including in the work of Quentin Tarrentino, Gus Van Sant, and Alexander Payne. She has recorded and collaborated with great artists like Brian Wilson, Ronnie Spector, Bertrand Burgalat, Jonathan Richman and Alain Chamfort. Her early career as an illustrator, assisting Spider Man's creator Steve Ditko, and as animator for such cult favorites as Ren and Stimpy and Pee Wees Playhouse betrays her innate gift for both visual and iconoclastic expression." 180 gram vinyl, limited to 500 copies"
