"Flipping brilliant... this band doesn’t stick to the same safe music pattern. Yes, they could do the same thing over and over - and still have folks eating out of their hands - but it’s good to hear a band experimenting with different styles." Hecklerspray.com, February 2007
"The Attachments demonstrate impressive pop chops on their self-titled EP, delivering six wonderfully catchy songs." The Bay Bridged, February 2007
"I received this in the mail not too long ago, and tossed it in for a listen...and weeez like what we heard! This is the way it's supposed to be...4 dudes playing their instruments and having fun." Retro Music Snob, March 2007
"Sounds like Weezer had a love child on the beach with one of The Beatles." Macktronic, March 2007
"As selfish as it may sound, if flawed relationships cause The Attachments to write songs as enjoyable as these, I hope they find the most superficially ignorant girls on the planet." Obscure Sound, March 2007
"This Berkeley indie-pop rock band has proved that its songs should be opened and downloaded immediately." San Francisco Chronicle, July 2007
"The harmonies are bright, more reminiscent of The Beatles than anything Oasis will ever write (sorry, just had to get that jab in there), and the ensemble is so solid that listening is effortless." The Deli, August 2007
"The Attachments put the "fun" in dysfunctional relationships. Their self-titled EP is an ode to broken hearts and unhealthy romantic delusions, all set to bouncy pop rock." The Owl Mag, September 2007
