    The album has a hazy, deeply romantic quality. [Nov 2006, p.112]

    An intimate, frequently beautiful and consistently surprising record that gets better with every listen.

    It's a reversal of the usual wild and weird direction of extra-curricular albums: it's more commercial than Room On Fire! [Nov 2006, p.112]

    I am very impressed with Hammond's vocals and knack for catchy tunes. I never even knew he could speak, let alone make an album this good.

    Very solid album. Too bad it wasn't released a few months later (It came out here in february) because it really would be a perfect album for a care free summer day on the beach or at the cottage.
