Reviews3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The melodies are very nearly on par with the curlicues and knockout drops of the band's breakthrough, and Mercer is still singing so lithe and refined you'd think Ray Charles had never existed.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Wistful....WINCING is a purposefully low-impact affair. On the gorgeous finale, 'A Comet Appears,' Mercer picks at a nimble guitar line like it's 3 a.m....", 4 stars out of 5 -- "There are twists, but no clutter, just a gentle lyricism leaving every song lie from the inside.
