    The overall effect is not dissimilar to a less arch Rufus Wainwright, although the quality of songs does tail off slightly toward the end. [Jul 2012, p.113]

    Adventures finds Watson's broad cinematic swaths bundled into a persistently intimate experience.

    The songs are rarely more than threads of querulous melody and floaty notions. [Jun 2012, p.93]
