  1. Stylus Magazine
    50
    His seemingly harmless overarching theme of matters extraterrestrial stitched through each of the album’s tracks somehow compromises their effectiveness.
  2. The Guardian
    50
    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. Q Magazine

    Anything approaching a tune seems to have been muffled under a duvet of drowsiness. [May 2006, p.122]

    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 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!… Full Review »
