a review stated, ""[t]"echnically a near-perfect recording (produced by brooklyn's decorated soundman joel hamilton), "only chimneys" flows with grace, mostly holding its balances well. musical jellybeans of every flavour are scattered all over: a banjo's stealthy twang, a sudden surge of splendid, indulgent strings, a breath of ethereal piano, a makeshift choir, even a french horn each a delight to pick out and savour. the vocals, however, are the true focal point of the record. wolferman's clear, luminous voice articulates emotion almost uncannily."
