MojoImpressively, he makes it all his own--at times it feels like the songs might have been written by, or for, him. [June 2008, p.115]
-
Takes is most worthwhile for Adem fans, but intriguing for anyone who enjoys a new perspective on old tunes.
-
Adem has outdone himself, and has created what may be the strongest record of his solo career so far, and Takes merits hearing as an album in its own right, as well as being one of the best exponents of the maligned covers album genre. Highly recommended.
-
His evident love of his source material and the material's alternative-era continuity make Takes a vanity project that's much better and more universally appealing than what we usually mean by the term.
-
If there’s a criticism to be made it’s that the album’s perhaps a little one-note.
-
The duds are few and far between, and Takes is a worthwhile, if not always essential, venture.
-
Under The RadarThis is the kind of project that could easily draw envious jeers but thankfully Adem delivers a respectful and restrained album that pays careful homage to those who have come before while looking forward to the future. [Summer 2008, p.81]
-
All in all, this a whimsical, unhurried and enchanting effort.
