"See this man live as soon as you get a chance. There is a depth and passion here that raises the material into the same stratosphere as artists as disparate as Dylan, Paul Simon, and early Springsteen, yet sounds like none of them."
- Bob Segarini, fyimusic.ca

Vancouver's Province newspaper recently gave SET FREE 4.5 out of 5 stars, saying that the 'country soul' sound is "perfect... A career peak."
