All Music Guide
An album that has all of the elements necessary to be a pop classic.

90
Tiny Mix Tapes
Jim Guthrie has created a masterful soundtrack of peace and tranquility, similar to the crowning achievement of another earthly troubadour, named Sufjan Stevens.

The Onion (A.V. Club)
It's a lush, gorgeous record, but it's also small and still, full of unassuming first-person monologues.

Stylus Magazine
Frankly, the results are incredible.

We adore this album and are pretty sure most of you will, too.

82
Pitchfork
Now, More Than Ever is both hushed and sprawling, serene and agitated, jumpy and constant.

80
Junkmedia
Guthrie successfully matches his idiosyncratic lyrics with subtle, layered arrangements lush with strings, crisp guitars, and shifting song structures as likely to burst into anthem or lilt towards confession.

80
Dusted Magazine
A pleasantly lush album that may be his finest work yet.

80
Neumu.net
Immersed in beautiful, stirring string arrangements, heartfelt melodies and an all-around warm and welcoming down-home folk feel, the new album is sincerely soothing.

70
Alternative Press
Acoustic without being folksy, poppy without being pandering, and quirky without being annoying. [Oct 2004, p.144]
