Oct 25, 2010This 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.

Dec 22, 2010As side projects go, this is one of those that will happily turn left rather than right when climbing onboard that transatlantic flight to you.

Dec 22, 2010Jenny '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.

Dec 22, 2010With the duo sharing vocals and occasionally bickering like Jack and Vera Duckworth, the pair's sound is comfortable – somewhere between 1980s indie jangle pop, 1960s Byrds-type guitar chiming and modern MOR. But the easy-listening melodies hide lyrical bite and references to everything from mental illness to sex with strangers.
