    This is a deceptively simple sounding album, but don't let that fool you. Steve Martin and Edie Brickell work very well together, and the songs are catchy and full of emotion without being over-produced.

    It's hard not to smile with listening to this album. Easily one of the best albums I've listened to this year from any genre of music.

    Incredible album. Sure-fire Grammy winner. So fun you'll listen to it over and over and love it better after each listen. It's like you already know the songs as you listen to them for the first time. I joined Metacritic to write this review.

    Asher’s deft work provides breathing room between the instruments, Martin’s subtle playing leaves the showboating behind and the trio delivers a modest gem.

    It may seem an unlikely match, but Martin and Brickell bring out the best in each other. [Jun 2013, p.93]

    Precious and self-indulgent, this disc is bound for the sale rack at Starbucks.
