Brian Baker's review: "Penn's penchant for Beatlesque mannerisms results in a balance between Lennon's darkness and McCartney's lightness."

Paul Barras' review: "Penn is less concerned with setting new standards than perfecting his current style, which is no small feat for a musician whose previous work elicits superlatives."

Ian Nathanson's review: "...a melody-to-the-fore collection of cleverly written conversation pieces."
