"His tunes are wistful.melancholy,and obsessively
manicured to elicit just the right shade of dispossession...And while Delcampo pops out of his crushed-velvet reverie every once in a while to delve into some alt-country figures and Freedy Johnston-style oh-lonesome me's,it's the overall wash of pure blue tone that makes The Fountain a keeper."
Joey Sweeney-Philadelphia Weekly 4/00

"..lovely and moody debut."
Sara Sherr-Philadelphia Daily News 4/00

"...spend the right kind of time with The Fountain-a summer night solo drive,say-and the proper sound level,kindred spirits emerge and interesting connections tend to surface."
Rick Cornell-Amplifier 8/00

"Moody and reserved,The Fountain is an excellent album of understated pop."
Ron Davies-Splendid E-zine 6/00

"Delcampo favors the soft pop flavors of Burt Bacharach and Brian Wilson and much of The Fountain will hold up to the scrutiny of the most demanding pop devotee...Delcampo has assembled a melencholy
delight that combines the most heartfelt elements of 'No-Depression' roots rock and east listening magic."
Kevin Mathews-PowerofPop.com 6/00

"Mostly though,The Fountain is an album to be savored over a few listenings,because it reaps forward sublime layers and melancholy colorings not readily apparent to a casual hearing...The rewards to be found within more than make up for the time spent."
Paul Anderson-Consumable Online 7/00

"Listeners would do well to turn up the volume,give
Delcampo their full,undivided attention and find out for themselves just how captivating an album The Fountain is."
