"URB'S TAKE: It's no error; there are two musicians in one. Hayes manages to play a short duvet filled with a consoling voice and a sorrowful set of violins ("What I See"). Scary Mansion carries a soft whisper to accompany her band's somber keys. The relationship between the two (other than being siblings) is that both musicians complement each other in sequence: Where one is dominant, the other is low-key, and it's an uneasy ying-yang pairing that creates an unbelievable manic atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, though, both musicians are impressive and deserve their solo recognition." - URB Magazine, September 2007
