    His first LP of complete originals is a thing of profound beauty; deep, sad, wise songs, allied to perfectly crafted arrangements, from a man who's lived long enough in darkness to address the big, heavy questions with a lightness of touch. [Aug 2012, p.96]

    What we have here is another excellent Chris Smither album, reason enough for celebration.
  3. The wisdom expressed is crusty but benign, poetic and sometimes witty.

    Valentine is typically sturdy--piquant observation and low-key philosophy played against an impeccable musical backdrop. [Aug 2012, p.80]
