"Love-cars ain't no emo. You won't find any femme posturing or songs about trikes here. ... Vocalist James Diers makes a strong claim for succession to Rivers Cuomo's long-vacant throne as King of the Nerd Frontmen, going so far as to uncork couplets like, 'Give me half the first clean page / I'll raise Gandhi from the grave.' If you can't stomach the thought of listening to popular music, listen to I'M FRIENDS WITH ALL STARS right now, before it gets big. Then you get to backlash against Love-cars and say they sold out, and we know how you love that."

(Pitchfork, March 2000)
