"fascinating debut with loads of retro appeal"
...Greg Quill, Toronto Star, June 2003 "
"Howard Gladstone has crafted the most melodic album I have ever heard."
- Canadian-Music.com, May 2003
"Sweet, sweet words that bring thoughts of love and sunshine and gladness into the space that surrounds the music ... I was impressed by the rhythm in his lyrics, a perfect balance of words, innovative expression and clarity of thought that takes one off to new places. He has a lot of solid material
- Rambles, March 2003
...sounds alternately as dark and richly textured as a Leonard Cohen offering, and at other times, as light and lilting as a trip back to Simon and Garfunkle....
....a sincere, insightful artist on an uncompromising journey of passage and revelation....
- Norm Hacking, singer/songwriter
