Sep 19, 2014With Please, he’s made something several cuts above either of those: a pop masterpiece, something that elevates his once seemingly unassertive style to a whole new level.

Sep 30, 2014It's hardly fair to wish hard times on songwriters just so their work might sound more real and meaningful, but if they have to suffer, one can at least hope that they are able to turn it into the kind of revelatory art that Lerche has on Please.

MagnetNov 5, 2014Another gem, and, not unexpectedly, one of his darkest collections. [No. 114, p.59]

Sep 29, 2014The more abrasive elements of Please mean that, on the first couple of plays, it might pinch and pull like a new pair of shoes. But, give it a fair hearing, and eventually Lerche’s resplendent melodies will shine through and something akin to a mild obsession might gradually take hold.

Sep 18, 2014It’s not all as instantly catchy as its opening track, but you can bet it’s a grower, post-break-up or not.

Under The RadarSep 18, 2014Whether you want more "classicist" songs like this is subjective, but if you're thirsty for some, this is a fine place to drink that wine. [Sep/Oct 2014, p.77]

MojoSep 18, 2014If Lerche lack Beck's nous, he makes up for it with a cavalier freedom. [Oct 2014, p.92]
-
Sep 24, 2014Lerche’s playful expressions of heartbreak capture those [emotional] extremes with competent, if rote, poise, even if a few of his experiments fall flat.
