Jan 19, 2018Thanks for Listening may be a best-of collection from Live from Here's songs of the week, and this makes it a modern masterpiece. Thile's introspective songwriting and ear for musical structure imbue the album with a different type of depth we don't often hear in his other projects.

UncutDec 13, 2017Thanks For Listening has the same gentle humour and musical imagination he brings to the airwaves [as host of Prairie Home Companion], although "I Made This For You" and the title track are a bit precious in their meta trappings. [Jan 2018, p.26]

Dec 13, 2017Despite its more collaborative origins, Thanks for Listening plays like a singer/songwriter album from Thile, one with moments of humor, poignancy, dread, and playfulness. Particularly "for anyone trying to hear through the din of a boorish year," it captures the Zeitgeist of the first half of 2017 with a very human touch.
