    A masterful intersection of emotion and musicianship, Robert Ellis is one of 2016’s finest.

    At its heart, though, this is essentially a great pop album. [Jul 2016, p.83]

    The artist makes a convincing argument here that he too belongs in Houston's pantheon.

    Ellis' sly, unsparing wit still defines the music.

    Robert Ellis’ self-titled album is the sound of a young songwriter solidifying his blend of East Nashville country with whatever sounds, styles, and sentiments that suit his interests.

    Rather than ending the record with an emphatic statement, the band sounds confused and adrift. Which is a shame, because for most of its passing, Robert Ellis is an exercise in confident songwriting, creative arrangements, and strong playing.
