Under The RadarThis album cherry-picks a lot of the best ideas from his past work and sets a new baseline, which will simultaneously please fans of his old band and allow him to vault into the future. [Spring 2009, p.66]
-
FilterWhile he doesn't exude happiness throughout all 12 tracks, there's a feeling of contentment with his newfound solitude. Clearly, Lytle's time away has recharged him, even if it's in a way that reflects a more mellow life. [Spring 2009, p.92]
-
To say Yours Truly is stuck in Grandaddy territory isn’t exactly a dig; that band produced four consistently solid records, and it turns out Lytle is as competent on his own as he is with friends
-
Alternative PressThe haunting tone unfurls itself further with every successive listen, making this an album worth returning to again and again. [June 2009, p.102]
-
By not moving further away from the sound that defined him, instead choosing to use that sound as a blanket, retreating within it rather than escaping, Lytle shows us that the commuter is still trying to find his way home.
-
MojoThe record's familarity is nourishing rather than revelatory. [Jun 2009, p.99]
-
The music simply crawls by in a maddeningly static mid-tempo blur, going about its melancholy business on the way to nowhere.
