"The history of cinema has been replete with successful partnerships between director and composer: Hitchcock and Herrmann; Spielberg and Williams, Lynch and Badalamenti. There’s even a Wikipedia page devoted to such collaborations. Yet one fellowship overlooked by the Wiki league is that between fearless French cinematic impressionist Denis and her loyal band of care-worn Nottingham craftsmen. Since a chance meeting in Paris in 1995, Tindersticks have been at Denis’ service, writing close-miked chamber soundtracks of rain-pattered mystery and soft-voiced melancholy. Collected together, the fear might have been that the Tindersticks sound would be found wanting. Yet from 1996’s Nénette et Boni to 2009’s White Material here is a sound in evolution…always pulsing with the same intimate warmth as Denis’ films." – MOJO (5/5)
"Tindersticks early on showed interest in orchestration, and the band has developed that forte magically, yet ruminatively and cautiously, on these films scores. Like Denis' art films, which rigorously avoid sentimentality, these scores never succumb to pretty lushness. They always keep their introspective melancholy nearby." – Blurt Online (8/10)
"This box, with its extensive notes that offer a narrative history of the band's work with Denis, is a nicely assembled and welcome addition to the Tindersticks discography. It's not a casual purchase, but the band's most dedicated fans and soundtrack heads will be thankful for its creation."" – Pitchfork
"Fine work lies within. Staples’ score for 2004’s L’Intrus builds tension with jazzy percussion and metallic echo-soaked guitar, while 2009’s White Material is sombre and stately, all droning accordians and wandering flute." – Uncut (4/5)
