AMG Review of Around the House

John Bush
All Music Guide

With the addition of vocalist Dani Siciliano on several tracks, Around the House is much more suited to straight-ahead dance music than Herbert's previous work. The deep liquid basslines and staccato kitchen-sink percussion (reminiscent of a more skeletal Chic) are working in support of something -- namely, Siciliano's languorous vocals -- and Herbert proves quite adept at backing a singer.
