  1. By-the-Numbers probably wouldn't have ever been played much on the radio in the past couple of decades, and its mood is more relaxing than fun, but it's a lovely set of covers that sound like they could've been originals
  2. Apart from a couple fumbles, By-the-Numbers turns out to be a successfully executed concept and a very pleasant listen.
  3. Many of the tracks are stamped with a heavy-eyed autumnal charm. [Year End 2008]
