    Pleasant but slight. It's relaxing and enjoyable, though, so if you need something to mellow out to, give it a spin. Nice to hear Prekop doing some work that'll appeal to more than just Sea & Cake fans.

    Marginally weaker than his first solo outing, but still one of the best records I've yet to hear this year.

    This is a really nice album. When everything seems like turmoil in your life, throw this on and relax. Cool, refreshing, never boring or samesy.

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

    Nice and All, but let's be honest folks, this will be forgotten about very soon.

    Well worth the five year wait. Not even one weak song in the batch and with an all-star lineup assembled to assist; Archer Prewitt (Sea & Cake), Chad Taylor, Rob Mazurek (Chicago Underground), Josh Abrams (Town & Country), and even Sir John McEntire (sorry, no Jim O'Rourke this time). Enjoy and catch them live on the present tour if you can!

    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.

    This is one lush, warm bit of earcandy that will not let you down.

    Despite what appears to be a decided attempt to branch out musically, Prekop returns with a slight variation on the same theme that has seemed to follow him around since birth. Luckily, for fans of Prekop's work, progress and self-redefinition has hardly been the point.

    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]
