"Parlour Steps’ front-man, Caleb Stull’s voice is as amazing as it is unique. And it is only icing on the cake that is The Hidden Names. The album is absolutely the catchiest album of the year. This pop/rock collection is so upbeat you’d have to be dead to not dance along." - Alex Aaron, The Silver Tongue

"Packed with richly layered indie-pop, good lyrics and coy melodies, its charm has completely won me over. The male/female vocals blend perfectly and I simply cannot resist the combination of rhythmic guitars and a sophisticated plonking piano. But there’s more in there, much more." - Cecilia, I Am Crime

"The Hidden Names impresses in some way at nearly every turn. Very enjoyable and highly recommended." - Chris Nowling, Chewing Gum for Ears

" These words are so true, so simple, so real and so well placed within chords,. The movements and progressions are so precise. And such is the standard with Parlour Steps. Gorgeous music wound around conscious and smart lyrical wordplay that melds together to form a perfect, almost otherworldly art form." - Nathaniel Bryce, Discorder October 2009

" Another Vancouver collective that makes intricate, infectious, affected pop. Another Vancouver collective that does it really damned well. Maybe it's the water. Maybe it's the impending Winter Olympics. Or maybe it's just a trick of geography. I'm not too worried. When the stuff is good, it's good. And in the case of Parlour Steps, it's great. The sound is more acoustic and intimate than most bands who try this sound. I think that's an ambitious take; it certainly requires much more nuanced performances. You can hide a fair amount behind a solid electric guitar riff. Vibes don't shield nearly so much. But this restrained approach allows the songs to bloom superlatively." - Aiding & Abetting, October 2009
