    I'm Having Fun Now distinguishes itself from Lewis and Rice's solo efforts, or hers with band-on-hiatus Rilo Kiley, by going for a very specific tone.
  2. Entertainment Weekly

    Brought together by a shared love of crisp boy-girl harmonies and ultra-hummable, '60s-inspired melodies, they sound Cracker Jack sweet on I'm Having Fun Now even when they're feeling bitter.

    Jenny 'Rilo Kiley' Lewis, and Jonathan 'Just Recorded Under His Own Name' Rice's brand of folk-indie-pop--jangly guitars, sweetly shared harmonies, echoes of the Deep South--isn't groundbreaking, but probably wasn't supposed to be.

    This album is pretty great. Jenny Lewis' and Johnathan's Rice's voices seem to perfectly match each other. This is some of the catchiest new music out there, and is a wonderful mix of indie-surfer-pop, with a clear, consistent sound and great tunes. Jenny and Johnny make the kind of music that is impossible to get out of your head.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yo soy amigo personal de la Jenny, y debo reconocer que el disco no me parece bueno. Sin duda la falta de su compañero Tubegán. El sonido de la loba se echa de menos. Para mi en vez de un 75, le doy un 0 patatero.… Expand
