    At first, I could barely sit through the entire album as it is very low key. After several listenings, I have grown to like it better. The major problem is that the harmonies are barely distingushable and it simply doesn't ever take off.

    So low-key that even the amplified instruments sound semi-acoustic. [#10, p.116]

    If Doe intended to create an interlocked set of pieces that sustained a mood of pensive reverie, he succeeded, though there's a marked shortage of ear-grabbing, individual songs. [Mar 2003, p.95]
  3. Rolling Stone

    For all the guest starpower, however, the results sound as anonymous as Doe's chosen name.
