    Little Window does something that can go understated in music now a days it seems to me. It entertains. You can fault their efforts on few accounts, which I will get to, but the one thing I don't think they can be accuse of being is boring--dry.

    I can't say that the production is adventurous, rather, it finds a soft comfortable place and stays there.

    Kelly Jones and Teddy Thompson sing together so beautifully! Neither appears to ostentatiously seek to usurp the other, one coming to the fore, then letting the other, their singular strengths shining when at zenith. When they sing in unison, combining their energies and talents into the most remarkable of duets, two voices as two voices as one, if that makes any sense, they produce aKelly Jones and Teddy Thompson sing together so beautifully!

When they sing in unison, combining their energies and talents into the most remarkable of duets, two voices as two voices as one, if that makes any sense, they produce a series of stunning musical realizations on this lovely and singularly sweet album. The songs are uniformly strong and concise, if I may use the word: not a clunker among them. This is a either a most auspicious beginning of a triumphant duo, or one of the loveliest moments in folk music. Brilliant!… Expand

    Little Windows has an easy charm, but doing this stuff well is harder than it looks. [Jun 2016, p.81]

    Whatever the particular style, Little Windows is a series of sparkling pop gems; clocking in at just under 26 minutes, the only thing the record leaves you wanting is more of it.

    A sweetly-rendered set of originals. Sometimes, though, even if it drips with Nashville authenticity, it's all a bit too sugary. [May 2016, p.90]
