Here is what some critics wrote:
"Tightly Tuned Genius" - 10/10, DSD - Read
"Epic... A psychedelic trip." - Artrocker, new issue out now
"There's a strange kinetic energy in this music, the spirit of a human musician coming out of mechanical, computerized sounds. These are the sounds of the future." 4/5, musicOMH - Read
"It sweeps aside all notion of keeping to one idea, as it switches from quasi-garage rock to drum loop-aided fervency to digital Prince to ambient post-rock to Talk Talk minimal balladry... an intriguing demonstration of where things are heading, and an exciting demonstration of his range and skill." - Sweeping The Nation - Read
"Napoleon IIIrd belongs to a combative musical lineage, descended from other oddball loons like Gary Wilson, Tom Waits and James Pants. "The Strong Nuclear Force" even recalls Prince at times, forging a funk that's low-slung, high-strung, white-boy; guitars flinching their way through grey atomic paranoia while Mabbett's throat, so desperate for release, ends up just bursting apart." - RCRD-LBL - Read
"Napoleon IIIrd is a captivating and engaging live performer... ‘Hideki Yukawa’ shows that the man has only strengthened." - God Is In The TV, Tips for 2009 - Read
"An 8-bit Prince in minimal funk mode, complete with a throaty soul-music scream... Montreal post-rock textures, ambient noise and plangent guitar breaking out drum machines and shivering shards of synths... gripping." - The Line Of Best Fit - Read
"Prince via Beck falsetto and electro beats... he keeps you on your toes with his playful approach... definitely worth the time." - Amelia's Magazine - Read
