"The gentle "Beehive" kicks things off with some "Because"-like harmonies, and the title track is a slow burner that will stick in your brain. But the real highlight here is "Nightlight", a buoyant pop tune that builds to an swelling chorus and has turned out to be one of my favorite tracks of 2011." - Absolute Powerpop
"The overall feel of this EP is one of relaxation – there are no big solos or dramatic drum fills. This mood, while undemanding, makes for a pleasant and effortless listening experience. It’s not quite easy listening, but it’s certainly easy to listen to..." - Pennyblack Music
"Almost baroque in its intricacy, this carefully crafted EP is a collection of wistful pop that’s easy on the ears. It’s Byrdsian folk-rock that favors jingle-jangling guitar lines and lovelorn vocal harmonies. The husband/wife duo make things interesting by incorporating whispers of electronica into the folkiness. So subtle it’s practically subliminal. A flutter of synth here, an industrial beat there. Nice touch..." Noise Magazine
