“The songs! I was absolutely blown away by each and every one: they all feature peerless musicianship and thoughtful lyrics, which mesh perfectly with Wilkerson’s pure, emotive lead vocals. The album is truly a feast for the ears. Many pop-rock fans will no doubt be adding the album to their list of the finest records of 2018.”
- John M. Borack Contributing Editor, Goldmine Magazine
