    Rolling Stone (p.125) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Closer 'Twilight at Carbon Lake' floats on reverb-drenched arpeggios and a doo-wop melody, conjuring a bizarre retro prom -- the kind of off-kilter affair where an outsider like Cox might feel at home."
    Spin (p.111) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "There's an intense physical sensation in all of Deerhunter's material, a constant feeling that outside forces are acting upon the singer, and by extension, the listener as well....[MICROCASTLE] is focused and consistent."
    Spin (p.52) - Ranked #7 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "[His] gift for setting nostalgic, almost torchy melodies to amniotic jangle and smeared garage rock suggests salvation..."
    Entertainment Weekly (p.73) - "The band settles on a neo-shoegaze approach, layering blankets of fuzzy guitar texture to exquisite effect." -- Grade: B+
    Alternative Press (p.154) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The richly recorded songs spool out with a natural ease. As the album rolls on, the shoegaze creeps deeper into a psychedelic doo-wop corner."
    Mojo (Publisher) (p.108) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[You'll] have fun getting to the heart of these Syd-influenced treats and a wraparound curtain of shoegazy gauze that shivers with the clammy chill of lysergic '60s rock and Joe Meek productions."
    Blender (Magazine) (p.73) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Singer-guitarist Bradford Cox mumbles lullabies over slow, spooky drones -- evoking wintry folk ballads or deep-space doo-wop or surf rock at low tide -- that morph into psychedelic monsters."
    Blender (Magazine) (p.84) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he album should be up the alley of anyone who fancies multi-layered, feathery psych-pop."
    Paste (magazine) (p.53) - "t's an aggressive step toward mainstream that sacrifices none of Deerhunter's woozy adventurousness....MICROCASTLE is instantly ingratiating."
    Clash (magazine) (p.66) - Ranked #17 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "[A] woozy, trippy and cyclical shoegazer collection..."
    Record Collector (magazine) (p.80) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he Atlanta-based band have refined their palette, emerging slicker and more self-assured....This is a far more seductive amalgamation of their disparate elements."
