Wishing upon these Stars is wholly encouraged - BLURT
a fuzzy sleepwalking gem that’ll bring to mind drops of dew on blades of grass and other similarly clichéd romantic moments, but it effortlessly avoids any sonic cliché - CMJ
Every time I listen to this album I fall in love all over again.
It does not get more elegant than the Crushed Stars - Selective Memory
The ‘80s shoegaze sounds even better than its influences and the songwriting is top notch; what we have here is the first great album of 2014 - Inforty
Poetic, descriptive lyrics, intricate melodies, Understated and unassuming - Audio Femme
A beautiful album that has set a high benchmark, not to be missed - popstache
Plays out like most young relationships. It starts out strong, heavy, and exciting with the opener “Flowerbomb” and the following track “Fantastic Birds.” The album then falls into a dreamy lush state. ...does a splendid job of intermixing melodic guitar tones, reverb-heavy vocals, and hazy backgrounds with Jeff Ryan’s mixture of thunderous and often times appropriate quiet drumming. a solid cross between a dream pop and shoegazing record - The Owl
Brooding and creative. One of the best releases of the new year. - Caught in the Carousel
Fuzzy, calm indie-pop has never sounded so dreamy, so radiantly textured and they even insert some of their most forceful work to date as well. The hazy shoegaze Gautreau is so known is as alluring as ever and the heavier emphasis on synth works well with his soothing vocals and Jeff Ryan’s fluid drumming. Indie-rock, post-rock, ‘80s dream rock – these tags are all unnecessary. This is just great music from a creative, prolific mind -New Noise
Understated, gauzy and slightly shoe gaze-y songs that seem to live in the hazy netherworld that exists between sleep and waking - Campus Circle
Lives up to the implied promise of the title, with small snapshots of relationships in various states of disarray and a balance of hopefulness and hopelessness consistently maintained. It’s like a break-up record for someone who doesn’t want to break up. It’s a neat trick in that the characters seem more resigned than sad, looking back with a bit more perspective. It’s that little tweak that keeps the record from being an emo, navel-gazing bummer. Crushed Stars have pulled together various elements in a very elegant, thoughtful, and satisfying way - Agit Reader
Languid and simply beautiful. Everything should move in slow motion while this album is playing -Vinyl
