Dość mieszane odczucia recenzentów.

Marc Hogan Pitchfork In the wake of 2006's unabashedly Chet Baker-inspired Duper Sessions, it's nice to hear Lerche again seeking his own muse. If only it didn't come out sounding so much like everybody else's. Sharp-elbowed rockers like "Face the Blood" and "The Tape" careen in stark contrast to even the liveliest Two Way Monologue arrangements-- but do we really need another Arctic Monkeys clone? Anyway, while distortion roams freely compared to previous Lerche albums, producer Tony Hoffer (Air, Beck, Belle and Sebastian) keeps the proceedings too polite to hint at any actual rock rebelliousness. Good thing Lerche still packs his newfound Punch with breezy, old-fashioned melodies. While Lerche remains a promising young songwriter, Phantom Punch doesn't quite fulfill that promise.
