  1. Alternative Press
    80
    A collection of crisp, melodic pop tunes that showcase not only his musical abilities, but his vocal skills as well. [Mar 2007, p.145]
  2. Urb
    70
    More of the breezy, lo-fi indie pop that aligns Mark in the Elephant Six canon of pretty-pretty flights of fancy. [Mar 2007, p.101]
  3. Under The Radar
    70
    An album for breakups and recoveries. [#17, p.99]
  4. Mark's laid-back stride keeps the affair surprisingly buoyant.
  5. A vehicle for his much-improved vocals, strong enough now to carry some songs.
  6. True, Money Mark has a typical singer-songwriter vocal presence, but lighthearted lyrics sprinkled with clever one-liners here and there do a sufficient job.
  7. A loose, warm, and human-scale record that sounds pretty nice right out of the gate.
  8. We find exquisite Beatles-indebted pop, moments of effortless lyrical and melodic brilliance and a few tunes which drift dangerously close to easy listening.
  9. Uncut
    60
    There is little to these songs besides Mark's Lennon-like voice and an unobtrusive piano and guitar. [Apr 2007, p.113]
  10. Billboard
    60
    Mark's sound here is cohesive and unified, though a pervasive midtempo vibe and downer subject matter (it's mostly a breakup album) tend to blur together. [3 Mar 2007]
  11. Brand New by Tomorrow may be great background music, but it isn’t anything but that.
  12. Q Magazine
    40
    Mark appears disarmingly buoyant, his lyrics so humdrum that it's hard to take his pain entirely seriously. [Apr 2007, p.120]
