Generally favorable reviews - based on 10 Critics What's this?

  • Summary: The ex-Jayhawks team up again as a duo on their first album together in over ten years.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 5 out of 10
  2. Negative: 0 out of 10
  1. Nothing's as timeless as "Blue" or "Waiting for the Sun," but the thrill here is all about those two lonely voices that find each other, in this future of theirs, caught up in that rush of harmony.
  2. The production of Black Crowe Chris Robinson lends grit, but is never intrusive, letting the scruffy melodies and jigsaw-puzzle interlocking of these stellar voices do the heavy lifting.
  3. The fact they fit so well says a lot about this music, and while there are moments of genuine beauty and grace, this is a far cry from what these men achieved in their prime.
