Nov 4, 2011What we're hearing here is the Temptations turning into the Delfonics--the way his midrange gives up the verse and his falsetto takes the chorus is as nice as his boyish sexism.

Entertainment WeeklyOct 25, 2011L.A. retro soulster Hawthorne hasn't led a major-label deal smooth out its quirk. [Oct 2011, p.119]
-
Oct 21, 2011He succeeds in creating a soul revival with a refreshing modern day twist done so right.
-
Oct 7, 2011How Do You Do is another solid step in the right direction for Hawthorne, who shows that soul music is universal and devoid of colour, as we all can relate to difficulties and heartbreak.
-
Nov 1, 2011His vocals are slightly generic yet the songs are solid and when he shifts into falsetto, you'll take a time trip back to the 60s heyday of this sumptuous and frisky R&B that moves from the dance floor to the bedroom.

Oct 11, 2011From its suave title to the very first words on it--"So here we are/ It's the end of the night/ Yeah, I had a good time, too/ You know, it doesn't have to end here"--Mayer Hawthorne's amusing new album comes across like a pickup line uttered at last call.
-
Oct 10, 2011Hawthorne just doesn't have the vocal chops to pull off an otherwise solid album.
