    The silky-voiced folk-popster successfully rocks up his sound on his fourth album, adding a polite but firm electric edge. [20 Sep 2002, p.106]

    Sheik's sparklingly clear voice and subtly tricky guitar shifts transcend the pop-rock melodies. [#10, p.126]

    Every song sparkles with a hook or lyrical element strong enough to permanently embed the brain upon impact.

    Daylight ups the electricity and the songs cleverly find their way into your immediate recall.

    Luckily, even with the changes, the Sheik mystique remains and makes this album a worthy new addition to his repertoire.

    A handful of pleasant, tuneful pop songs guaranteed not to disturb the peace.

    As with any Duncan Sheik effort, to really appreciate the record, patience is of the essence.
