    Despite the playful mandolin and nods to Morten Harket, the snoozy melodies weigh down his homespun wisdom, and this little engine runs out of steam.

    Oh! Mighty Engine is typically whimsical, low key and surprisingly touching (when you can make out what he is singing). [Oct 2008, p.90]

    Oh! Mighty Engine is endlessly pleasant but oddly faceless, a record strangely free of feeling.
  5. Hot Press

    Sounding, for the most part, like a Stars In Their Eyes version of Cat Stevens, the album lacks variety, imagination and charisma.
