Ambitious-Outsiders.com by Ana Bezanilla,
"Imagine taking a 20 minute drug trip to the '80s, when Joy Division, Bauhaus, Siouxsie & the Banshees and The Cure dominated the underground. Take the chiming guitar chords and haughty yet masochistic vocals from these monolithic influences and blend that with a touch of '60s happy-go-lucky claps and an overall aura of punk and post-punk attitude. World Wide Spies creates one of the most accurate and original portrayals of the post-punk revival-a thousand times better than any attempts on the radio nowadays. They successfully produce enjoyable, catchy, danceable tunes that remind yet entertain the listener..."

Post-Punk.com Review
"'Individual' the high point of the EP for this reviewer follows with a thumping drum intro that shatters like glass into a nice sparkling guitar riff the Edge would be proud of. This leads up to the anthematic chorus declaring JFK's disdain of being categorized."

Splendid Magazine, by Justin Kownacki
"Picking up where Interpol and The Strokes left off, World Wide Spies are helping to lead the burgeoning post-punk-meets-new-wave charge, circa LA 2004. The most impressive thing about the album is how well it channels its forebears"

2 Walls Webzine, by Brendon McCullin
"The U2-like rhythms that drive most of the songs would do Clayton, Mullen & The Edge proud, but the real star of the show is JFK. His voice fits the style to a T, evoking the feel of working class London...as the post-punk movement was finding its legs."
