  1. You don't have to like, or even see, Who Loves the Sun to be moved by McCaughan's work here.
  2. This soundtrack is a nice surprise, exceeding expectations when it eschews the expected.
  3. Hollywood producers and directors could learn a lot from this deceptively modest score.
  4. What Portastatic is able to achieve on Who Loves the Sun? without using vocal melodies is impressive.
  5. Under The Radar
    70
    The results are very modest and whimsical, yet at the same time sincere and fitting. [Summer 2006, p.97]
  6. An entirely pleasant, listenable little soundtrack.
  7. On the stereo, Who Loves the Sun is almost too pretty, coming perilously close to that "beautiful music" vibe popular in dentists' waiting rooms.
  8. The mood from track-to-track varies drastically. The pieces do work, though.
  9. Alternative Press
    40
    While there are some nice moments of orchestral pop here, that's hardly enough to carry an entire album. [Aug 2006, p.208]
