    This is a collection of songs that focus on his introspective side, and he can ponder a dark night of the soul or the mistakes he made long enough ago to make the failings obvious with a literacy and unflinching honesty that makes this one of the most affecting albums of his career.

    The result is a solo album that feels both intimate and essential, a reminder that his understated approach remains as powerful as ever. It stands among the most affecting entries in his already remarkable catalog.

    Pernice's stately tastefulness, acoustic guitar studded with slide and steel, offers honed adult reflection, not excess. [Apr 2026, p.36]
