Reception

Rolling Stone Australia described the album as, "Dramatic songs of unhealthy obsession wrapped in lush cinematic arrangements, Mouth to Mouth (as in kissing and/or emergency resuscitation) refined the Blackeyed Susans' unique balance of romantic and sinister. A darkly beautiful exploration of passion for the slightly deranged."[1]
