  1. 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.

    They sounded great in the lounge; the garage suits them even better. [Oct 2006, p.130]
  3. 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.

    Contains the same dizzy mix of bossa nova, jazz, rock, and electro beats [as their debut]. [29 Sep 2006, p.81]
  5. Sophisticated as all this is, bits of it still flop, and other bits seem like they've gone overboard on the sophistication.
  6. Spin
    80
    Multicultural, cosmopolitan, intellectual dance music: Ibiza meets punk, dub goes tango, trance gets smart. [Oct 2006, p.95]
  7. 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.
  8. MSN Consumer Guide (Robert Christgau)

    If only she was as sophisticated as she thinks she is. Or as funny. [Feb/Mar 2007]

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

    This album makes me want to grab a popsicle and spend all afternoon dancing in the sunshine.
