"If you were left cold by XTC's latest, then this is probably what you were expecting! Great songs, quirky changes and a fine blend of acoustic and electric instrumentation. Man, if Colin Moulding released a solo album today (produced by Andy Partridge) then this is exactly what it would sound like. Although I don't think it would touch the majesty that this album possesses. Don't let the XTC comparison get in the way, though. They don't SOUND like them. They just have the same quirky musicial stylings. Songwriter Howard Herrick has created a near-perfect album filled with everything that us pop fans want, need, desire and love. This is an album that is as enchanting as anything else you'll hear this yearfabulous". Stephen SPAZ Schnee, All-Music Guide

Hard to pin down, hard to ignore, hard to not praise...CD's like this don't arrive on the shores of Colorado too often...pastoral, sleepy pop that vamps spirits of mid/late 70's AOR giants like Supertramp, Yes touring with XTC as an opening band. Fine blending of quirky, swervy melodies and solid balance of acoustic and electric guitars. Soft pop fans of June & Exit Wounds, Jiffipop/Cloud Eleven and Cherry Twister should find this lovely confection of lilting vocal layering and easy-to-digest(re: not distracting) quirk their cup of tea. Progressive pure soft pop for now people. Very Highly Recommended!!-Bruce Brodeen, Not Lame Recording Company (www.notlame.com)review and catalog entry

-"standing out from all other bands...like a cool of Brit Pop a la Move 1968 and US 70s Power Pop but done in 90s fashion. Has anyone coined the term Psychedelic Pop yet? Just Bleeding wonderful. ..takes 2nd half of the 60s Popske by the ring it's got through its pink-purple-and-green nose and leads it round the arena with everybody from the Beatles to Tinkerbell's Fairy Dust lifting their hats and bowing". a UK Magazine
