    His [Chris Collingwood] Kermit-does-Carole King voice can be too sugary for some, but not for high-spec pop fans. [Sep 2016, p.99]

    Collingwood remains, however, the guy out of Fountains Of Wayne, and therefore can't help himself from confecting soaring, sumptuous melodies. [Sep 2016, p.75]

    After a few listens, every track reveals gem-like layers in Collingwood’s tunes, often missed on initial listens.

    It has a slightly different vibe from most of Fountains of Wayne’s material, but most of that is a matter of arrangement, not songwriting.

    The deceptive geniality of his delivery, meanwhile, recalls Gilbert O’Sullivan, enabling him to bring darker undertones to apparently pleasant pieces like the lilting waltz “I’m Gonna Haunt This Place.”

    A little mellower and a little more introspective, but just as impactful as he was two decades ago when he first started showing up on the radio, Collingwood is proof that growing up and growing older isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

    Look Park's weakest points are the frills that seem to dominate more than half of the album.
