    Years of sideman work have given Smith a certain world-weariness; that grit makes this newfound joy ring clear as a bell. [Aug 2017, p.93]

    It’s all pleasant enough, but falls some way short of being compelling.

    The sinewy electric guitar lines and occasionally stodgy songs at times stray into the realm of windy stadium-folk, as blandly generic as Smith's name. When it does cut to the heart of the matter, however, Headlong impresses. [Aug 2017, p.37]

    It’s all lushly produced, accessible stuff, but one fewer men sinking into a downbeat persona, rather than a fuller personality, would be welcome.
