    While the vocal similarities to jam-band peers [Ben] Harper and Dave Matthews are striking, Johnson's songs are, frankly, more instantly likable than theirs, more tuneful and less earnest. [9 May 2003, p.74]

    A sparkling sophomore effort, carefully designed to avoid any kind of critical slump.

    He's got many peaceful, breezy songs about peaceful, easy feelings but lacks the hooks to hang 'em on. [Jun 2003, p.109]

    The first Jack Johnson album I listened to. Needless to say I have bought the others since. The simplicity is the genius of it. Its brought some of my friendships to new heights by simply playing his music. It is fresh to have something that most anyone can enjoy. And most everyone who doesn't have some prejudice toward this album will listen to it and like it. Whether it be my metalhead friends who enjoy Cradle of Filth or my parents.… Expand
