  1. AllMusic
    80
    Ward's voice is a slap-delayed pastiche of Ron Sexsmith's easygoing croon and Andrew Bird's closed-mouth drawl, and like his front-porch fingerpicking, it's as effortless as it is effective.

    Ward's lo-fi (and utterly charming) ditties make you long for a past you never lived. [#14, p.123]
  3. Lost At Sea
    80
    Texture and detail separte M. Ward from other solo singer-guitarists, but his general songwriting formula is what gets him to the peak of exceptional list in the first place.
