- Comments on "Green Pond":
"Hits just the right quiet note of a chlorophyll-enriched, cricket-happy daydream." - Kimberly Chun, SF Bay Guardian

"Eleven dreamy escapes. Minimalistic and stripped-down with a naked, honest voice. Pure balm for the soul... The record also has some noisy parts that fit the rest of the material very well... If you want something honest and very beautiful." - Nephilius Magazine

"It's really very lovely... wow, is this ever different. I don't even know what you'd call it genre-wise. To me it's accompaniment. It is music that goes along with something, whether that is an activity, a dream, or just a session of deep thinking.... It sounds especially nice with headphones." - Collected Sounds

- About "Fiji Mermaid," an EP release:
"...the instruments' sounds are sparse, lending it a cozy, personal feel. The music itself is detached... (You Shouldn't) Drift Away,' for example, is an eerie, twinkling piece that is far from the norm, yet catchy and enjoyable, nonetheless. Other songs, like 'Sunglasses Hide The Sun,' lean more towards the experimental side of things... but still taking cues from basic pop teachings." - Indieville
