Reception

edit

Eric J. Lawrence of KCRW said of the album "They have attacked it with gusto on Voyeur, adding dynamic touches to their rock-solid core of songwriting" and that "Overall the album is a satisfying package from start to finish".[1]

Mark Jenkins of The Washington Post reviewed the album, "Channeling British glam-pop as only a Los Angeles band can, Saint Motel makes chic and sprightly music with hints of ironic malevolence."[2] He also said, "At times, the music can be almost too ecstatic, threatening to leave the listener behind."[3]
