'Astonishing,' declared NME of 'THE FAMILY JEWELS' in its nine-out-of-10 rave. 'Raining down on the ears like an explosion of sonic confetti, ('Hollywood') boasts a chorus so killer it should probably be investigated by the police.' The Times' Pete Paphides awarded the album four-out-of-five stars, praising it for 'parachuting you into the world of a singer who wants your attention but hates compartmentalization.' The Telegraph decreed 'THE FAMILY JEWELS' an 'arch, clever debut,' hailing Marina for having 'a larger-than-life quality, coming on like a drama queen using her personal neuroses as a prism through which to view the world.'
