"Pretty ambitious for a band that just formed a few years ago. It's constantly shifting dynamically, and it's as strong on the eight-minute psych sprawler "Drone Tone" as it is on the under-two-minute punk blast 'Pessimist.'" - BrooklynVegan.com

"Dead Ocean is all the usual brilliance of Rye Pines, but manages to camp itself into a more snarling, fuzzed out sonic territory than their previous work." - AllstonPudding.com

"Maguire knows how to shout memorable lyrics with wry conviction (“Can you smell it?/ There’s change in this house and I’m gonna sniff it out”), and accompanied by Alex Page’s semi-spastic, wholly cathartic drumming, “Pessimist” sounds like an anxiety attack." - Stereogum.com

"Rye Pines’ Pessimist packs quite a punch when first played. In one minute and fifty seconds you’ve got a guy screaming like a pissed off Stephen Malkmus, This awesome lo-fi, doesn’t give a crap riff, and the drumming that pounds like a dancing elephant. It’s like that headrush you’ve always wanted but was too scared to do." - StageDiveMalta.com
