Mar 29, 2012This brevity [30-minute run time] doesn't make the record bad by any stretch, but it does make it feel cut off. The warm, gauzy sounds here invite deeper exploration, and instead Earle gets in and gets out all too quickly.

Mar 29, 2012While it's true this album often feels like the listener is being asked to endure a personal confession without redemption as a reward that is also part of its hopefully deliberate, perverse charm.

Mar 26, 2012Restlessness and drive applauded, but oh for the sound of those demons.
-
Mar 22, 2012It's never an essential one, however: that air of self-deprecating resignation seeps into the music, which shuffles along unassumingly, occasionally enlivened by a rock'n'roll rhythm or a shimmer of soulful horns, without betraying much character of its own.

MojoMar 22, 2012An album of melancholy and heartbreak that's at its best when the songs fall between all-out country rock ballads and bare bones ballads. [Apr 2012, p.84]

Mar 21, 2012It's a watered-down Earle, perhaps more than we'd expect, but it works.

Mar 16, 2012Only a handful of isolated moments convey the same attention to songcraft and the clear perspective that have made Earle's previous albums so captivating.
