    Albums like these always have to strike a careful balance between mimicking the original and killing the spirit of the original, but it's a balance that The Flip Is Another Honey is able to find quite comfortably.

    Doughty is savvy enough to make this disparate collection into a cohesive album, while putting his signature spin on each track.

    The album is at its best when Doughty allows himself to stray from his source material.

    The quality zigzags, but Doughty maintains an agreeably impish spirit. [Mar 2013, p.70]
