"his voice is both soothing and plaintive and moves most powerfully when the music falls back into the quietude of simple guitar picking for accompaniment; creating the kind of ambivalent tension reminiscent of a Lord Byron poem or a David Sedaris essay. Even when he's singing about the kind of loneliness that gets worse at night, there's a strange hopefulness in his voice that reassures things will all work out alright in the end." - Jasmine Anderson , Biocritics
