An incredible debut from these Scottish, masters of misery, no symptoms of failure to be heard here just plenty of success. 9/10 - Matt Bladen Musipedia of Metal

White's voice, ethereal and haunting combines with Maguire's low clean baritone to give the bands music a unique and different vibe and feel to that of any of their contemporaries in the field of doom, in fact Desert Psychlist would go as far as saying that there is not a band out there, at the present time, that sound anything like The Rhubarb. - Frazer Jones Desert Psychlist

Our final rating is a ten. - Anne Rodriguez Zone Nights (Argentina)

Hannah White's vocal range on 'Trip to the South' is like a possessed Kate Bush. 8.5/10 - Anselm Anderson Rambling Man's Reviews
