    On this luminous nine-song LP, Souther adheres to the old adage--leave them wanting more. [Jun 2015, p.81]

    Souther's command of both his music and his voice on Tenderness is total; he makes it all sound easy. But that's deceptive: it takes a lifetime of commitment and hard work to deliver a gem like this.

    There’s something rather standoffish about Tenderness as a whole.

    At Times, Tenderness teeters on schmaltz, but Souther's way with a simple melody usually pulls it back. [Jul 2015, p.113]
