    Carefully written, elegantly performed, and generously emotional, it's another work by an artist still at his creative peak.

    An album of rich, subtle melodies, championship-level guitar playing and lyrical depth. [Sep 2002, p.115]
  3. PopMatters

    In some sense, it is true that any of these new songs could fit comfortably among his earlier works. Yet now there is an even more polished grace to the undertakings, as if age and experience have refined and further honed what already was smooth.
