  1. Even though this style of music has been done, and done well, by many others since the late '80s, the familiarity of Selway's debut makes it that much more agreeable.
  2. 80
    Familial is an acoustically plucked, feet-on-the-ground record, Selway's fragile and inviting voice a delightful match for his slightly anxious, if misplaced, self-doubt. [Sep 2010, p.98]
  3. 60
    The results, while hardly ground-breaking, are moving and accomplished. [Sep 2010, p.102]
  4. It's a fine record on its own terms, but the it's just not possible to circumvent the expectations that come with his dayjob.
