    The results are intimate yet expansive--a pleasing balance between post-rock sonic experimentation and traditional songcraft.

    Drum machines and brass add a little range to the prettily strummed ethereal balladry. [Apr 2015, p.77]

    It's Decided is more than just another comeback album; it's proof that Andy Kim is here to stay.

    While the album is a fine showcase for Kim's beautiful, ageless tenor, those expecting more of the singer's soulful, sunny hits or Broken Social Scene's sonic adventurousness are likely to walk away a bit disappointed from It's Decided's classy, if a bit monochromatic, adult pop.

    For better and for worse, there is nothing cringe-inducing on It's Decided; the record mostly sounds like I should remember to tip my barista.
