    I got Kweller's first album when it came out and really didn't like it. I didn't bother with the follow-up, but decided to take a chance with this one as the reviews were so good. I'm really glad I did as it's an excellent album of great pop music. Well worth ponying up the cash for.

    Excellent disque, avec de superbes sonorités ! On est content d'écouter ces morceaux, et l'on est étonné de savoir que l'auteur chante et joue de tous ces instruments.

    A great disc. While not as wonderful as "Sha Sha," it is a marked improvement over the mediocre "On My Way."

    Songs great. It was awesome. I went to the Tempe show. Music was inspiring, and made me feel sensual and sexy...

    He plays all the insturments and puts music together as well as anyone. "13" is a quiet song, that is lyric driven but if your patient you'll be in for a romantic, fun, and feel good song. Overall the cd can't be beat, it's got a little bit of everything.

    This is the 25-year-old singer-songwriter at his most personal. [Oct 2006, p.208]

    This album has a '60s folk-rock quality that's earnest, sweet and open. [Sep 2006, p.136]
  3. Rolling Stone

    A slightly less edgy record stuck between its two predecessors quality-wise. [21 Sep 2006, p.84]
