Reviews3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Russell's lighter-than-air voice, murmuring about big-city love, recalls Nick Drake, and his filigreed melodies are stingingly gorgeous.", "With the gently, gorgeous, concluding 'Love Comes Back,' whose deceptively labyrinthe, exquisite choices of chord change encapsulate all that we know and love about the man.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "It finds Russell's intoxicating smoke-and-molasses voice helming songs that channel Jackson Browne, Jonathan Richman and Dylan.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "Like his career in microcosm, there are a variety of styles here -- the bucolic strum of 'Close My Eyes' and 'Goodbye Paint,' the soulful horn-driven 'Nobody Wants A Lonely Heart' and the WORLD OF ECHO-like 'Eli,' a paean for an unloved pet...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Love letters, brief smiles, a touch on the arm, friends, and pets abound; throughout, Russell poignantly captures and echoes life's ephemeral delights."
