4 stars out of 5 -- "Enchanting....With dog-eared melancholy....If his life has got easier, those blues still remain, and they serve him well.", "Gonzalez is a romantic at heart, given to an array of lyrical possibilities even as his music ripples with the taut simplicity of someone strumming alone in his bedroom.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Rave-downs like 'Time to Send Someone Away' and the rather gorgeous 'Teardrop' are built on unconventional melodies that wander like idle thoughts and churning acoustic figures that recall Sonic Youth's milder riffs."
