From Stylus Magazine :-

'Sweet Billy Pilgrim are just starting out (their previous claim to fame was remixing David Sylvian), and information is thin on the ground, but the title track here should be enough to earn converts already. All three tracks tend towards the image of an angelic Tom Waits, voice half-restored, singing over the sweetest bits of Deserter’s Songs. Of course, when a writer resorts to that sort of shorthand you know what it really means is that the music here defies description, and it does; “Stars Spill Out Of Cups” may start like another pastoral folk rock band, but give it a few minutes and it blossoms into something altogether more strange, shapeless and wonderful. The b-sides are more conventional and so not as wondrous, but beauty can still be found lurking in their outlines.'
