"i really like this ep. all of the songs are great. i'm not a huge fan of belle and sebastian, and i really only like them in ep form. but the title song is really fun (which was shocking for me to hear at the time), and 'love on the march' is a great little bossa nova song (those scots know how to do bossa nova). pick up the ep! it's only a few bucks (at least it was at borders), and it's a great listen."
Belle And Sebastian: Step Into My Office, Baby EP (Matador)

"Out of all of the three EPs released, this one is the best that I have ever heard. Now, I admit "Step Into My Office, Baby" has a good concept, a band gets into the stereotypes that men are the boss, and when he met the woman boss, he starts to fall in love and get caught up in work. It was one of the songs that I had to force myself to really listen to. The B-Sides are really really the reason to listen. "Love On The March" took a moment to settle in. Nostly, about having to deal with love and indifference in harmony. "Desparation Made A Fool Of Me" is one of my favorite songs, and one of the reasons I enjoy Belle and Sebastian. The music made me want to create twee-pop, and you will never hear Morissey come up with stuff like "If you feel this way, then clap your hands." This EP and I'm A Cuckoo will get you loving Belle and Sebastian or get you to want to learn more about them. Enjoy...Please?
