    With little in the way of banjo now, nearly every song comes steeped in acoustic piano, while the vocals are pitched to eke out every last chunk of substance from well-honed lyrics. [May 2010, p.93]
  2. The result is an intimate, poignant album, laced with rich production that enhances, not clouds, the songwriting itself.
  3. The Avett Brothers have hit upon a winning approach, and this album is another step in their taking it beyond the obvious.
