Compliments on the video as well - so essential, meaningful, fun, and reaffirms the notion that creative visuals depend least of all on budgetary mandate." - Tav Falco "His last two records -- 2016's Arkansas Summer and this one -- approach the pinnacle of a certain kind of adult pop music that was once fairly common (Jimmy Webb, Van Dyke Parks, Joni Mitchell) but is now nearly extinct." - Phillip Martin / Arkansas Democrat Gazette "Maxwell delivers these exquisite, thematically unified and acutely realized confessional records in the tradition of the great albums of the ’70s. Hear this part well: At my age (and we’ll leave it at that), and after all this, the man is doing what is not just the best work of his career, but really, the best work of almost anyone’s career, if you ask me. It’s really up to the audience now." - John Burdick / Hudson Valley One
