Top 25 of 2000's - Honorable Mention: She Sir's Who Can't Say Yes.
- Matt Graves (The San Francisco Appeal)
".feels like the beginnings of loneliness captured in pure sound. .almost psychedelic tinged indie, but more sober and reflective than expected. The sound of a solo life, almost barren, yet curiously filled. 4 out of 5."
- Leigh O'Gorman (Easy Music For Difficult Ears)
".sun-dappled boy-girl vocal interplay of Belle and Sebastian, the warmth and production sheen of the Beach Boys circa Pet Sounds, and the delicate arrangements of Beach House. Centerpiece track 'Lemongrass' serves as a She Sir manifesto: thoughtful, thundering-yet-unassuming, an at-first cacophonous tune which yields beauty through listener focus, like a musical Magic Eye puzzle."
- Patrick Caldwell (The Austin-American Statesman / Austin360)
"Shimmer-pop breakdown. 3 out of 5."
- (The Austin Chronicle)
"Their welcoming arrangement of warm, wispy and day-dreamy vocals that blend into the melodic guitar noise sometimes with droning distortion and the occasional use of organ, cello and other sounds is accommodating and unpretentious. 'Lemongrass,' a tune from the new release, begins with a little string intro before accompanied by keys and playful vocals resembling Belle & Sebastian (especially when paired with the soft flute) and winds up being one hell of a spring afternoon jam."
- Le Diamant Brut(The Austinist)
".absolutely addictive. [Yens] takes Phil Spector, Beach Boys, Pale Saints, Orange Juice, Ride, Cocteau Twins, Stone Roses, Belle & Sebastian and puts a touch of today that makes this EP something simply superb."
- (The Blog That Celebrates Itself)
".a touchstone for long lost floppy fringes. Yep, I’m in love and not even my wife or young baby will distract me from this beauty.""
- (MP3Hugger)
"She Sir has obvious antecedents, but its sublime shoegaze is far more complex than a carbon copy: buried within the layers of delay are careful arrangements that, like the greatest of pointillist paintings, coalesce into a slightly blurred portrait of mutable beauty."
- The AV Club (The Onion)
6.5 out of 8 - "Yens"
- (Troymax.livejournal.com)
".cerebral and mysterious. Yens reiterates -more concisely.- some of the dense guitar swirl, reverberant pining sentiments and arresting melodies that made the band's debut so captivating."
- (Clicky Clicky Music)
Top EPs of 2006: No. 2 - "Who Can't Say Yes."
- (Stay Nobody)
Best Of 2006 Addendum: She Sir's Who Can't Say Yes. ".drop everything and run, don't walk. You must own Who Can't Say Yes. The EP is a superlative document of '90s-style American indie shoegaze the likes of which you haven't heard since the first Lilys full-length In The Presence Of Nothing. Yeah, we said it."
- (Clicky Clicky Music)
Best Albums of 2006: No. 11 ".this is what would've happened if shoegaze was around when Bach was growing up. 'Intricately crafted' doesn't even begin to describe it. Every sound has its counterpoint, every note is in place."
- (Heartache with Hard Work)
"With the subtle hooks and deep atmospherics of Who Can't Say Yes, She Sir drop pop music to an even vaguer level than Loveless. She, Sir beautifully fractures music for the next generation of dream-pop connoisseurs."
- (3hive)
"It feels like warm pajamas, like the soundtrack to a movie about your life, something you want to listen to when you’re driving at night."
- (Slak's Index)
"She Sir bring verve back to common sound."
- (The Daily Texan)
"Extremely avant-garde and artistic, and in many ways still ahead of its time. She Sir take one step beyond traditional noise rock and make shimmering, hauntingly beautiful arrangements that not only emphasize great precision, but also move in unpredictable, often pleasantly surprising ways."
- (Faronheit)
"She Sir have one of the most modernly unique sounds I have heard lately .incredible ingenuity and a fitting flow. She Sir's music seems to be oddly engaging. The EP contains a diverseness that should express great attention and detail to the music at hand."
- (Obscure Sound)
"Delicately harmonized vocals and transparent guitar hooks that rarely backslide into simply leaden melodies. Who Can't Say Yes finds She Sir's melodic rock unhurried atmospherics and sharp melodies further adorned by layers of instrumentation. .A band happy with an uncommon melodious minimalism."
- (Sabas.Judas)
".you can hear the detail, not just the wash of different sounds and layers: something that so, so many of the first-wave shoegaze bands just couldn't pull off. They didn't know how to. These guys do."
- (Let's Kiss And Make Up.)
