    A hugely enjoyable, relaxing warm bath of a record that easily surpasses the recent work of both its two main protagonists.

    You can feel Bridwell's effort, while Beam's casual understatement is entrancing. [No. 122, p.51]

    Those attracted to the collaboration's premise will very likely appreciate its results.

    An album of covers which, however enjoyable, doesn’t always take songs by the likes of John and JJ Cale, Ronnie Laine, Bon Iver and Bonnie Raitt to places they haven’t been before.

    Largely they hit the sweet spot by turning these songs into tunes that could be straight off their own LPs. [Sep 2015, p.110]

    The key problem with Sing Into My Mouth, though, is that this willingness to go against the grain of the cosy sonic identity that the pair have carved out for themselves is all too rare, and inevitably, more often than not the covers sound uninspiring in that form at best and plain wrong at worst.

    Its utilitarian arrangements only highlight how difficult it is to create a worthy cover. [Aug 2015, p.94]
