    The less successful interpretations simply fail to differentiate themselves from the spirit of the originals.

    Without exception, the well-chosen tunes become edgeless, pleasant downgrades of their remarkable originals. [30 Jun 2006, p.159]

    These tracks feel less like performances than private reveries on which the listener eavesdrops. [Aug 2006, p.108]

    Phillips's husky tenor makes this collection of college radio staples feel less like ironic cash-in and more like a genuine, affectionate nod of gratitude.

    There are a couple of misses here, but the majority demonstrate the beauty and range of Phillips' vocal ability.
