    The instrumentation and overall execution of Sunlit Cross is also deceptively simple--acoustic-based folk with a smattering of full-band arrangements--but the songs contain a subtle depth that show the handiwork of a gifted master.

    This is less innovation, more a soothing collection of unpretentious porch songs, delivered in superb fashion.

    Like coming home or a favorite chair, Roberts' Sunlit Cross is comfortable and soothing, something to appreciate, embrace, and sink into.

    A subtle yet quietly grandiose set of modern indie troubadour comfort food, the Nashville native's third studio long-player is both comforting and wistful, a warm summer's drive down a forgotten two-lane highway.

    Often the music sounds aimless in its open-endedness, too uniform in its cruise-control tempos, but the austere, restrained arrangements reinforce the world-weariness of Roberts' vocals, which recall Townes Van Zandt at his most bluesily pensive. [Nov 2016, p.37]
