From Mike Bennett, Fufkin.com:

"This band is full of ideas...mixing some pure pop with a penchant for mischief. At their best, Vanilla is sublime. This is certainly true of the uplifting yet sarcastic soft pop gem "Black Saturday", where the band blends Association-smooth harmony vocals with bitter lyrics, culminating in a great psych-pop guitar-and-horns coda. Another highlight, though a tad misanthropic, is the opener "Bangalore," where an office dullard is deep-sixed and his job sent to India. You may sing along, though you may feel a tad guilty. There is no guilt attached to the shimmering power pop perfection of "Cabernet" -- this reminds me a bit of XTC (think "Peter Pumpkinhead" mixed with...something else?)...Winning melodies and strong backing vocals."
