Here's what some critics have said about This Habit:
"Their pensive intros, escalating arrangements and the heady sheen of their peaking guitars bring a touch of post-rock to proceedings, completing the triangular seduction of this debut disc. 8/10" -
— Montreal Mirror
"Code Pie's take on smart, politicized indie is as gorgeous as anything else currently being crafted in Montreal. My proof is 'Cement Truck' and 'Gala'. Go ahead, see for yourself."
— The View (Hamilton)
"A very appropriate title for an album, This Habit is definitely one that even the most cold hearted of listeners will get addicted too."
— Exclaim, print version
"Full of inventiveness and skill, the only thing the band lacked in creating this album was a recording budget."
— Popmatters.com
"You should own this CD."
— The Coast (Halifax). (July 21- July 28, 2005)
"Rock malinconico di chiara scuola Radiohead, ma anche qualche occhiata lanciata in direzione Mercury Rev ( 'No Planes, No Tickets'), sono ulteriori elementi che fanno presagire per il gruppo di Montreal un interessante futuro, ed un esposizione in grado di andare ben oltre il solo, comunque positivo, interesse suscitato nella scena alternativa canadese."
