Perfect for a summer day.

Billboard
It all goes down smooth until Gordon introduces funk ("Radar Blip," "Jaded") and calypso ("Morphing Again") to the mix, with the results sounding stiff or dated. But make no mistake: He's got plenty to be proud of here.

Rolling Stone
By teaming up with his old bandmates, Gordon’s tunes sound just like any other Phish song – and turning out studio records was never the band’s strength.

The Phoenix
Gordon isn’t much of a tune man; his melodies rarely take a memorable shape here, and his adenoidal singing turns what he does have into open-mic mush. The lyrics, too, are on a pretty low burn.
