““ A batch of almost pastoral pop that recalls mid-/late-‘70s Alex Chilton had the Big Star frontman taken antidepressants. The title song is lyrical, softly psychedelic folk-rock, with Taylor singing the refrain, “We’re a little bit like windows/When we’re warm, we’re open/But when we’re cold, we’re closed.” The following “On Something in the Air” is a subtle declaration of faith. Later, the relatively out of character “Weird Girls” is a slab of thick-bottomed soul that — at least until the vocals come in — could easily be mistaken for a lost Earth, Wind and Fire single.” -Chris Herrington on Open Closed (Memphis Magaizine Sept 2006)

““Underground releases usually sound like underground releases...but this album does not mainly because Taylor writes classic pop songs that could easily be appreciated by a wide spectrum of listeners. His songs are warm and inviting...and he has a nice understated vocal style that is particularly appealing. And in all honesty, he does indeed have a good bit in common with at least some of the well-known artists mentioned above (we can hear definite threads of Lennon and Chilton in his music). Nine feelgood tracks here including “Just Can’t Wait That Long Anymore,” “Make Your Echoes Go Away,” and “Perfect Reflection.” (Rating: 4++++)
