Drowned In Sound
Jeffrey Lewis is at his best when he is simply writing songs. When he slips into the precocious, self-depreciating, in-joke raconteur, he is doing himself a profound disservice

Hopeful songs still retain a bald honesty strong enough to elevate the album from being just alright to something quite special

The Irish Times
The longer songs here ( Krongu Green Slime, Water Leaking, Water Moving ) err on the side of tedium, despite the quality of their analogue recordings and the album’s various guest musicians

The Line Of Best Fit
Two years on from his best work, there’s just too much by-numbers writing here, and a new and disappointing vacancy which seeps across the whole record
