ReviewsRanked #40 on Melody Maker's List of 1996's `Albums of the Year.', "A raffish, lushly orchestrated stroll along the highways, byways and, indeed, cul-de-sacs of love at the tail end of Britpop.", 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...a cheeky, grandiose masterpiece. On a foundation of guitar and piano, CASANOVA builds to a florid musicality....armed with...trumpets, violins and a Scott Walker-derived croon, leaving behind a loveless, voluptuous trail of broken hearts...", "...features diminutive Irishman Neil Hannon playing a foppy modern-day version of the title's namesake. The album's brilliance lies in the pain--and pathos--beneath his pop-baroque cheek and Buddy Love-like swagger." - Rating: A, "...glistens with retro orchestration, celebrating linguistic gymnastics...amusing interpersonal dynamics, and, above all, style....Hannon's happy keyboard work punctuates the grand schemes disguised as musical scores...", Ranked #19 in Nme's 1996 Critic's Poll.

Divine Comedy at their best
I would rank this album up there with the best of their recorded output. Catchy songs with clever lyrics.
