"A home recorded bolt from the blue. The heavenly vocals and plucked strings of opening track 'I lost my heart/Philippe Philippe' shimmer like Moon River, while the a capella 'Parting is such sweet sorrow' is almost like a chain-gang spiritual delivered by a cut-glass British accent - impossibly lovely. A fully formed slice of orchestral pop.****". Independent, 15.1.06
Voted 'best of the past four weeks' by NME, 21.1.06
"Paris Motel's debut EP shouldn't have been born into a world of iPods and file-sharing. The ethereal masterpiece, created by the classically trained Amy May, would be more comfortable echoing from a dusty gramophone in an empty hotel room. It's a beautiful slice of archaic chamber-pop that lifts you somewhere sublime, and from 'Mr Splitfoot's Victorian freakshow of twisted strings and demonic organ to 071's courtly guitar pics and breathy whispers (the most beautiful song ever written?) the only downside is that after a meagre 20 minutes it drops you back down on your arse in the real world". NME, 4.1.06
"Expect anything from an exquisite solo performance to a full-blown orchestra as Amy May, the first lady of ethereal melody with a voice like Lemsip in a bone-china teacup sets out on the road to entertain and enchant". NME, 'Everybody's talking about', 4.1.06
