4 stars out of 5 -- "From the up-tempo kick-off 'The Hymn For The Cigarettes,' and the tale of two alcoholics falling out of love, 'The Hymn For The Alcohol,' it's a sad album with a happy ending.", "...THE FIDELITY WARS is a perfect album to close out the most ironically detached decade of the century.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "With the arch tone of an Essex welter-weight Tom Verlaine, he sings of booze, cigarettes and thwarted amour.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Even with Belle And Sebastian in the frame, none were more indie in the '90s than Hefner....This was music for boys with tear-stained lecture notes.", 4 stars (out of 5) - "...Hefner's most enduring quality is their ability to expand and develop while retaining their essential good points....Wit and invention on a shoestring pervade..."
