    The third album from the Los Angeles based roots rock revisionists doesn't feature as many instantly catchy tunes as 2011's Nothing is Wrong. However, Stories Don't End is as comforting and reassuring as a warm pacific breeze and, if nothing else, finds the band very assured of their songwriting and their overall artistic direction.

    Honest, soulful, happy-sad, warm and welcoming.

    A new Dawes album will succeed for one primary reason: Taylor Goldsmith’s ability to connect with a new batch of stories. To that end, Stories Don’t End is another success.

    A move to their own label sees them lose the plot entirely, sliding into the stodgy AOR navel gazing of From A Window Seat and listless choogling. [Sep 2013, p.90]
