The WireDec 10, 2013Though heavier than ever, Jesu shares a bittersweet longing with the best of Mould's oeuvre, a sense of innocence on the cusp of corruption. [Oct 2013, p.55]
-
Oct 3, 2013Everyday innovates within that formula without corrupting it, and proves that the waters of his inspiration have yet to run dry. It’s a high mark in a career full of them.

Oct 3, 2013Lyrically and melodically it plumbs the depths of emotion, making it among the most compelling entries in Jesu's catalog.
-
Oct 3, 2013Though it sounds like it couldn’t be by anybody else, it’s more sonically diverse and less dense than previous Jesu albums.
-
Oct 3, 2013The tracks vary greatly in span, but beyond that there’s not as much of a dynamic as on prior Jesu full-lengths.

MojoNov 22, 2013Not exactly a collection of lullabies, this is still some of the most achingly beautiful music released yet under the Jesu name. [Dec 2013, p.89]
