“A new box set unearths Acetone, the greatest ‘90s rock band you’ve (probably) never heard…It's a comprehensive and stunning experience that preaches to the unconverted masses: this is a band that deserves to be heard." - GQ

“This is remarkable, deeply affecting music that deserves to be heard.” 4/5 Stars - AllMusic

"Once lost in the major label trend-chasing of the '90s, the soft, slow, and sad trio gets its rightful due in an essential box set that reissues all of their studio albums." 9.0 Best New Reissue - Pitchfork 

"One of the ‘90s’ great lost bands boxed up for a long-overdue reappraisal.”  - Uncut Magazine

"Cult '90s Californian trio get the monument they've long deserved." 4 out of 5 Stars - David Fricke, MOJO Magazine 

“Acetone careened through feedback- and fuzz-drenched Crazy Horse/Sabbath-styled rock, sublime Beach Boys harmonies, and the laconic ramshackle of Pavement and Dinosaur Jr. But they were never enshrined on music history’s granite wall. I’m still waiting. should change that.” The Best Boxed Sets of 2023 - SPIN

"...as if The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, Big Star's Third and Spacemen 3's Playing With Fire were spinning on the same turntable - at Galaxie 500 speed." - Mojo Magazine

"While he no doubt falls into the category of several talented, and perhaps a little fragile and troubled, singer and songwriters who died this way in the 2000s - from Elliott Smith and Mark Linkous to Vic Chesnutt - Lee has never had the same posthumous attention or adulation. This box set remedies that, not only highlighting his devastating and clearly underappreciated talent, but also showcasing the combined forces of a band that at their best can match Big Star, Yo La Tengo, Low and other outfits whose legacies feel enshrined in the history of alternative music. Perhaps now Acetone can finally join them." 9/10 Archive Reissue of the Month - Uncut Magazine

“A one band subculture.” The 2023 Year in Review - Aquarium Drunkard

“Clearly one of the finest reissues of late 2023 and a labor of love that took years to pull together.” 9/10 Stars - Under the Radar

“I’m Still Waiting. is the band’s long-belated opportunity to finally transition from underappreciated cult favorites to their rightful place in the pantheon of great ‘90s bands... I’m Still Waiting. is essential listening. It’s a gift we never thought to ask for, given to us by a universe that so often gets these things wrong. Don’t let it get away." 9/10 - Spectrum Culture
