"Aaron Robinson makes his solo bow with a daunting set of songs borne from bittersweet circumstance . . . We Are Racing Ghosts is every bit as haunting as its title implies."
-- +Performing Songwriter Magazine, June 2008
"Nashville singer/songwriter, formerly of a band with one of rock's best names, Imaginary Baseball League, has a lot of touching songs with nice tunes and an appealing higher-register croon."
-- +Ken Barnes, USA Today
".shades of Springsteen, Jeff Tweedy . . . We Are Racing Ghosts is full of inspirational, well-intentioned pop songs."
-- +PopMatters.com, April 2008
"With several distinguished guests aboard like Garrison Starr, Eamon McLoughlin from the Greencards and producer Neilson Hubbard, Robinson’s work is alternately beautiful, haunting, mournful and quite effective."
-- +Maverick Country Magazine, April 2008
"Robinson’s vocals could remind new listeners of Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard, but the stories in his songs also have the restlessness of Pete Yorn."
-- +Southeast Performer Magazine, April 2008
"Selling your guitar to pay for recording your tunes must count among the more poignant songwriter's images. In the case of former Imaginary Baseball Leaguer Robinson, we're guessing he'll be able to buy a few more. Solo debut "We Are Racing Ghosts" is deeply felt indie pop."
-- +C-Net/Download.com, January 2008
"Ghosts succeeds with sharp songwriting, but also its determination - in songwriting and production - to not overthink things and simply move forward. Here's hoping Robinson's next effort will come with the speed and ease displayed here."
-- +All The Rage, April 2008
"(We Are Racing Ghosts) balances lilting, heart-on-the-sleeve emo-pop with AC sophistication . . . The album’s highlight may be “Painful Fee,” a cantering C&W-tinged tune with a rock edge, inspired by the death of his uncle."
-- +Nashville Scene, February 2008
"(On Ghosts), strummy and expansive alt-country-ish backing fills the peripherals and commits to focusing on Robinson's tight melodies and highly emotive delivery . . . Three stars."
-- +The Tennessean, April 2008
".a voice and songwriting style that deserves to be big, that deserves the deals, that deserves the NPR radio play. We Are Racing Ghosts is a wonderfully quiet jewel of a record."
-- +Press Play, Record, June 2008
".excellent solo debut from the former leader of the Imaginary Baseball League, featuring a beautiful ode to Karen Carpenter in 'Karen'"
-- +River Cities' Reader/Anchorage Press, April 2008
"Ryan Adams without the bullshit meets the Counting Crows and Mark Kozelek"
