    Proves that Prekop really is one of the few musicians who can allude to the '70s, soul, jazz and fun--yet still sound sincere. [#14, p.99]

    I am loving this very cool, jazzy, mellow album. It's interjected with moments of warmth, sadness, and the occasional rock-out guitar riff, along with the ever-satisfying vocals of Sam Prekop.… Expand

    In my view, the most assured, confident and consistent group of Prekop's songs to date, his Sea and Cake output included.
