    The singles aren't as obvious as 2008's "Knickerbocker," and the cuteness is replaced by suave aloofness; Ventriloquizzing is seamlessly somber, and all the better for it.

    Ventriloquizzing is the sound of a band settling comfortably into its personality, though one can't help but feel that the best moments are still to come. [Year End 2010, p.70]

    Monahan is a fine producer when working within the framework of progressive folk and Americana, but his work on Ventriloquizzing is just a complete misfire.
