"Listeners will be in no doubt after hearing Gentleman Never Tell that these guys must be one hell of a live act, the record capturing the energy and buoyancy of a band on the up. One of the best debut releases of recent years. (9 out of 10)" -Nic Fildes, Americana-UK "A delicious bite of pop-rock with enough swagger and personality to be worthy of a decent following and a few iPod-worthy tunes you can flip through any time." -Evan Sawdey, PopMatters "The vocals take the 50"s style Vincent Vincent And The Villains down several notches while taking the instrumental equivalents up a few. The lyrics are sadly poorly pronounced at times, the result of which is that on occasion the singing starts to sound like British football hooligans having decided to invade a recording studio in an attempt to bring out their soulful side...There are some striking similarities to lots of bands on the London scene at present...[but] The Handsome Charlies do manage to surpass their British contemporaries, at times. Which, being a Londoner is rather difficult to admit to." -Victoria McNaught-Davis, AngryApe"The songs are catchy, upbeat, and radio friendly. The arrangements are often thick and complex, involving a wide variety of instruments and sounds. Happy, intelligent ...the vocals are exceptional." -BabySue"Gentlemen Never Tell combines Roxy Music suavity with Modest Mouse brashness." -Christopher Gray, The Austin Chronicle
