  1. All in all it's a sort of indie rock comfort food for those who miss the way it used to sound. [Fall 2008, p.82]
  2. Beating Back the Claws of the Cold aims for timelessness with its fusion of chamber pop, indie rock, and popular folk, but falls short as just another likable, ephemeral fall release.
  3. Barrett combines his best strengths to deliver one of the album's few shining spots; it's just a shame there aren't more of them on here.
