    The ability to make a genuine album -- and not just a collage of songs -- from a wide interest in musical styles is truly what makes this album such a delightful and great surprise.
  2. The Wire
    80
    A very nice slab of pan-generic, lof-fi, yearn-pop. [#231, p.59]

    80
    An intelligent brew of bare-bones Casio drumbeats, static-driven guitar lines and widescreen arrangements.
  5. PopMatters
    70
    Even while spanning a number of different styles, nothing on A Grown-Ass Man comes off as jarring or out of place.
  6. Rolling Stone
    70
    A remarkably diverse and irresistible collection of songs.
  7. Blender

    McNew adds his own hybrid theory, wittily merging classic and iconoclastic by exploring his influences. [May 2003, p.116]
