    The widescreen sound suits this career solo artist, and standouts like Boombox and Ten Watt whip up a rollicking hoedown ambience. [Jun 2024, p.75]

    Parr's front porch vocals and mesmerising guitar pickings mingle with mouth harp, backing vocals, piano, electric guitar and fiddle on an album full of wonder and love for the unloved. He really should invite friends round more often. [May 2024, p.91]

    The eight tracks produced by Tucker Martine (Sufjan Stevens, The Decemberists, My Morning Jacket) in Portland, OR include some music that, while it is legitimately based on a formidable tradition, nonetheless doesn’t sound quite so personal or powerful as the best Parr performs elsewhere here (or on the pinnacles of his past like his eponymous album of 2019). .... Fortunately, the moody likes of “Bear Head Lake,” call to mind Charlie Parr at his most scintillating on 2017’s Dog.

    Little Sun is one of his strongest sets in a while, whether he’s lost in the hypnotic reveries of “Bearhead Lake” or finding Michael Hurley-esque playfulness through “Ten Watt”. [Apr 2024, p.39]

    The title track does a better job of establishing focus; it is easy country blues supporting Parr’s meditations.
