"Standard Fare offer a big pop tune with heartbreaking lyrics and more ideas than most bands can muster in an entire LP in just one song. Best new band of the year thus far? I think so." Indie MP3
" 'Dancing' makes the heart skip a beat like the finest of Magnetic Fields songs. Which is about as good as it gets." Sounds XP
"Standard Fare hit us up with a little love song about dancing called ‘Dancing’. The vocals are decent, like Debbie Harry if she’d fronted some 4AD band in the nineties. Ace!" Norman Records
‘‘Dancing’ provides the perfect foil to Slow Down Tallahassee and puts a lid on this best of split personalities." Sandman Magazine
"I love Standard Fare for many reasons: the crackling female vocals; the way each song seems as though it's about to fall apart before it roars off into the stratosphere again; the fact that, in the days of ridiculous band names, they have a quite self-effacing one" A Layer Of Chips
‘’Dancing’ is a gorgeously drizzled bitter sweet slice of mel-pop, all at once hurt, bruised and possessed of a resigned recoiling shyness that aside being disturbingly touching is tempered by a tenderly hollowed and wintry melodic underpin that to our mind sounds like Decoration imparting their own unique appreciation of an early career Go Betweens." Losing Today
"Like many an SPC band Standard Fare they belie their DIY qualities through the power of simple melodies, guileless vocals, scab picking lyrics and a great deal of joie de vivre." Sweeping The Nation
‘Dancing’ is very catchy, tuneful and offers up something more than the some of its parts." Forge Today"Standard Fare add urgency and passion ‘Dancing’ and vocalist Emma’s raw but endearing words." Tasty Fanzine
