  1. Tiny Mix Tapes
    90
    Jim Guthrie has created a masterful soundtrack of peace and tranquility, similar to the crowning achievement of another earthly troubadour, named Sufjan Stevens.
  2. All Music Guide
    90
    An album that has all of the elements necessary to be a pop classic.
  3. The A.V. Club
    90
    It's a lush, gorgeous record, but it's also small and still, full of unassuming first-person monologues.
  4. Junkmedia
    80
    Guthrie successfully matches his idiosyncratic lyrics with subtle, layered arrangements lush with strings, crisp guitars, and shifting song structures as likely to burst into anthem or lilt towards confession.

    This is one of the best records of the year. GREAT production and excellent songs that stick in your head in a good way. Overall there is an understated charm to these songs that grows in addictiveness over repeated listens...not an easy feat by any means.… Expand
