    Kinsella has, yet again, created music as an art form and has provided us with a soundtrack to all of those moments between the events.

    [The] sly, artful brilliance should come as no real surprise. [No. 100, p.57]

    As always, Kinsella comes across as well-read, thoughtful, and concerned, reflecting the veteran musician’s early Cap’n Jazz days as much as his new fatherhood.

    A sense of excited satisfaction runs through L'Ami du Peuple, finding a still curious and motivated Kinsella a little bit older, but learning new things all the time and coming up with some of his best songs yet.

    It doesn't really ever quite rise above excellently pleasant, yet it's remarkably consistent, musically varied and occasionally, endearingly specific. [Aug 2013, p.90]

    While Ghost Town was more impactful for its consistency, L'Ami du Peuple allows Kinsella to spread out and open himself up to different styles. [Jun-Jul 2013, p.89]

    L’Ami du Peuple is a predominantly rewarding album, despite the occasional misstep and despite its unambitious stylistic orthodoxy.
