steveinsocal "…if you're late, as I am, to to the Aberdeen party - that most English of languid, pastoral and Twee indie-pop bands - who hailed from Palm Desert, CA(!) then this album is the perfect introduction. Listen to this and you'll understand why they were briefly signed to Sarah, and while song after song reminds you of that label's roster, there's also an acknowledgement of a growing musical confidence as well as clues to the present…"

"Like Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, Aberdeen's What Do I Wish for Now? is a glimpse into a fractured romance, though its pleasures are more reverie than voyeurism. The disc brings together all Aberdeen's singles and EPs, plus three compilation rarities, but Aberdeen initiates will still want to seek out Homesick & Happy to Be Here for album cuts like string-afloat "Homesick" and equally buoyant "Handsome Drink" (one of the "Buffy" tracks). Together or apart, Arzy and Girgus are at their best when they channel their drizzly English inspirations through their own southern California sensibilities. And overhead, there's not a cloud that couldn't once have been skywriting."

- Marc Hogan, Pitchfork (7.7)
