MagnetApr 15, 2015Carousel One is Sexsmithery at its finest. [No. 119, p.59]
-
Apr 3, 2015Lovely touches of deep soul back up the outstanding Nothing Feels The Same Anymore (reminiscent of Phoebe Snow singing Sam Cooke), and there’s a percussive and piano-driven backdrop throughout that makes this Sexsmith’s most rhythmic disc.
-
Apr 2, 2015Carousel One exists as an album on which “meticulous” is the watchword; on which Sexsmith’s mastery of his craft is more readily apparent than ever; and on which a decades-long career has taken a turn for the cheerful.

Mar 31, 2015It’s another pretty great Ron Sexsmith album.
-
UncutMar 27, 2015When Sexsmith does finally pull a heartbreaker out of the bag, it's a doozy. [Apr 2015, p.83]
-
Mar 27, 2015It's a casual and friendly record with less of the nostalgic melancholy Sexsmith is frequently known for.
-
Mar 30, 2015Hopefully "No One" is an indication of the long-hidden spunkiness that Sexsmith will finally reveal in full on his next effort. If that doesn't happen, and his follow up is as joyful as Carousel, fans will still be pleased by one fact: Ron Sexsmith's days of being pigeonholed as a sad sack are long gone.
-
Mar 27, 2015Not everything works perfectly here but when he gets it right, he really nails it.
-
Apr 22, 2015It’s no surprise to find that Sexsmith is doing little to reinvent himself on this album, the cheeky charm of “Saint Bernard” notwithstanding. Still, the comforting warmth and tenderness of the strongest tracks here makes Carousel One an album worth some spins.

Mar 27, 2015He seems to be making an effort to be more positive, though sometimes that comes across as cumbersome or strained.
