Starlight Mints is only one Outback Steakhouse ad away from indie domination. - Straight.com

Damn if this doesn’t sound like all the obnoxiously happy moments on a Blur record being thrown up all over a unicorn that’s just chilling out under a rainbow. - Pumping On Our Stereo

The Starlight Mints exemplifies my favorite new genre: complex pop. Phoenix is making it, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin thrives on it, and now The Starlight Mints has perfected it. - No Mistake in Mixtape

Change Remains is a pop-friendly, danceable concoction of quirk — it mixes violins, eerie bells, funky guitar riffs, xylophones and theremin, and washes it all down with a sugary-sticky swig of psychedelic Kool-Aid. - Tulsa World

Starlight Mints’ recent Barsuk release, Change Remains, bears a strong resemblance to the hard candy with which the band shares a name. It’s packed with red-and-white swirling psychedelic pop that is sometimes sweet (like the airy Beatles-ish flow of “Paralyzed”) and often refreshing (the spy-movie instrumental “Coffins ‘R’ Us”). - Riverfront Times
