Reception
[edit | edit source]Australian music website Faster Louder described "Sweet as Sugar" as reminiscent of Thrills, Kills & Sunday Pills with its pop/rock sound. The review states that it "isn’t a slow song and is full of that constant bass guitar strum and hammering drums that we have all come to associate with Grinspoon, and is without those screaming vocals from Phil Jamieson but still maintains a strong and steady performance." It concludes, "It’s one of those infectious songs that stays in your head after you hear it, where you will find yourself constantly singing the chorus."[4]
Rob Smith of The Dwarf is more critical, stating that "Sweet as Sugar" "is not as the name suggests" and that it "fails to stand out in the crowd of Grinspoon hits that proceed it."[5]
