REVIEW

"The Rondelles' first album, "Fiction Romance, Fast Machines," was great. It was precocious and charming, a fine debut. Somehow, though, "The Fox" blows that debut out of the water. Everything has improved: production, performance and, above all, songwriting. This is a pop masterpiece with no filler. The perfection of the arrangements is stunning by anyone's standards -- and these kids are barely in their 20s. The Rondelles may still be The Cutest Band on Earth, but good luck finding any band who can also rock this hard, and this well. Recommended for everyone. Period."
- Noah D. Masterson, Amazon

"The Fox boasts more complex, musical arrangements that lose none of the group's initial charm...capturing the nuance and emotion in Juliet Swango's voice, which has always been the act's focal point...a self-assured, femme fatale quality."
- C.M.J.

"The Rondelles blast through punk-pop numbers like Joan Jett's indie rock little sister. Their second full-length release for Teen Beat records, The Fox, is a testament to the influence of female-fronted new wave bands from Blondie through the Breeders, and like high school rockers the Donnas they crunch through each song with carefully controlled abandon. Rondelles have crafted a very specific sound that they stick to almost religiously and the album doesn't branch out much from start to finish, but fans of this genre won't mind a bit. The songs blast by quickly, but burners like the halting "Tuesday Rock City" and the gritty "Boy I Know" stand out as brash reminders that grrls rock!"
- Zac Johnson, The Allmusic Guide
