    The album, with its loungey, brushed shuffle grooves and sparkling guitar riffs, has its own intoxicating pull borne of the magical, decades-old chemistry between Wareham and Kramer. That's the Price of Loving Me might pull you into a golden vortex of their shared reverie, but it's a small price to pay.

    There's less reverb this time, but it all sounds great, befitting a set of excellent songs. [May 2025, p.85]

    With Wareham’s reliably impressive artistry at its core, The Price of Loving Me is another solid entry in a solo oeuvre that just keeps giving.

    "You Were The Ones I Had to Betray" is a heady opener, the title track is a rich stunner, while the brilliant, bittersweet "Yesterday's Hero" is a bold missive from a songwriter who is still producing some of his best work. [Apr 2025, p,39]
