- Great! The Dirty Pretty Things have grown up.
This album is great and definately worth the wait with the most outstanding songs being: Hippy's Son, Plastic Hearts, Tired of England, Faultlines and Best Face.... So half the album really, which proves just how great this album is. Infact the other songs i feel are not very far behind and i am sure they will grow on me.
This album shows the Dirty Pretty Things find a slightly calmer sound while still keeping that angry, exciting energy.
So all in this is a very successful second album ... Read More

- Unfairly criticised
I have the two Libertines albums and Waterloo to Anywhere and, having heard DPT two or three times performing tracks (Plastik Hearts, Come Closer and Tired of England) from this album prior to its release, I was looking forward to buying it. However, I almost didn't bother because of the many mediochre reviews I read in the music press.

- Brilliant...
I dont normally write reviews, but sometimes a band comes along that remains largely under-rated and dont get the praise they deserve - DPT are one of those bands.

There is passion, energy and emotion in these songs that puts many newer, younger, more ... Read More

- Second album syndrome?
I liked Waterloo to Anywhere (well the first half of it anyway!) and where that had strong uptempo songs that grabbed you on the first listen; this album - for the most part - just ambles along... There are a couple of highlights, but I was really expecting more than this. Maybe its a grower?

- Worth waiting for
Wow! My hopes were high but this album exceeded them. Romance at Short Notice contains tracks with the same infectious, punchy, punk influenced flavour to be found on DPTs' debut album, but also introduces us to more complex medlodies and harmonies that we have not heard before from the band. There are many highlights but the stand out track for me is Buzzards and Crows, a 3 minute whirling roller coaster of a song reminiscent of Madness at their best. This album should herald the arrival of DPT's into the ... Read More
