    Rhythmically tricky acoustic arrangements showcase his soaring, sensitive-bloke vocals. [29 Sep 2006, p.81]

    With vocals that sometimes resemble a heavily sedated Chris Martin and too many songs that drift past in a pretty but indistinct haze, Love and Other Planets never quite achieves lift-off.
  3. Dusted Magazine
    30
    Unfortunately, Adem's efforts to take his music to new places result in the abandonment of much of what made Homesongs so appealing.

    Planets, space, stars, galaxies, love, and all of us... what does it all mean? Who knows, let's try to figure it out. Everything is connected, it seems... Listen to the lyrics on this album and have fun with all the sounds and off kilter beats. Give it time, it will grow on you after 3 or 4 listens. I keep coming back to this album as one of my favorites this year. Perfect for quiet, introspective moods. There aren't many songs that stick out as "hits", just listen to it all the way through and enjoy!… Expand
