BlenderThey sounded great in the lounge; the garage suits them even better. [Oct 2006, p.130]

SpinMulticultural, cosmopolitan, intellectual dance music: Ibiza meets punk, dub goes tango, trance gets smart. [Oct 2006, p.95]

Sophisticated as all this is, bits of it still flop, and other bits seem like they've gone overboard on the sophistication.

Entertainment WeeklyContains the same dizzy mix of bossa nova, jazz, rock, and electro beats [as their debut]. [29 Sep 2006, p.81]

MSN Consumer Guide (Robert Christgau)If only she was as sophisticated as she thinks she is. Or as funny. [Feb/Mar 2007]
-
Brazilian Girls maintain the same kinetic thrust and hook-laden melodies as before, but they've turned up the rhythmic aggression and electronic squelch to 11.
-
It has, in one fell swoop, dismissed any doubts about the band’s legitimacy, while offering a nearly solid 12 tracks of sex, rhythms and mystery.
-
On Talk to La Bomb, the main elements of the Brazilian Girls debut are still in place, but both vocal and instrumental elements head toward the middle, leaving us with a more polished and ultimately less satisfying listen.
-
Talk to La Bomb revisits nearly all the elements that made their 2005 self-titled debut such a thrill, but the songwriting has slipped a bit, welcoming the beloved act to the sophomore slump.
-
The songs are breezy to the point of vapidity.

kasbNov 8, 2006This album is much messier and more dissonant than the first. The songs on the first album just fit together much better.
