‘One listen to Raglans’ debut album and you’ll understand why their reputation for live performances precedes them. They’ve come up trumps on the euphoric singalong choruses…with upbeat songs such as Digging Holes bursting with colour and melody, there’s no reason why Raglans shouldn’t make it big. - Irish Times
‘the opus is a stellar, starry-eyed effort which has world beater all over it. Raglans is one of the strongest most self-assured debuts I’ve heard in years. - 9/10 Hotpress
