  1. In Changing Horses Kweller has slipped seamlessly into another stream of songwriting tradition, and all signs say it suits him.
  2. Changing Horses emphatically answers the question of “what next?” for Ben Kweller and although not faultless, it’s a strong showing, especially for someone exploring a new musical direction as he is.
  3. Alternative Press

    Regardless of one's opinion on music that drawls, Changing Horses is worth your attention. [Mar 2009, p.106]
  4. 60
    Changing Horses' Americana journey is hardly inventive, but Kweller's boyish charm and quirky songwriting keep it more promising than predictable.
  5. The album really comes into its own when soft and subtle songs.
  6. There's a charmingly tossed-off quality to the entire set, whose 10 songs frequently deal with women and their troubled men.
  7. Under The Radar
    40
    Changing Horses crams its few memorable moments onto the back half of the album. But its not enough to compensate for the lack of creatvity and foced nature of most of the disc. [Winter 2009, p.72]
