".one of the inheritors of Leonard Cohen's crown of thorns, Zapruder explores themes of isolation and eros without the customary whine."



Pitchfork



". beautiful folk-pop ballads resonant of the voice of Rufus Wainwright and wordplay of Andrew Bird"



Amplifier



"It's probably not too much of an overstatement to hang the "genius" tag on multi-instrumentalist Michael Zapruder."



Magnet



".vast and varied…akin to hearing Rufus Wainwright croon over Andrew Bird's simmering string arrangements."



Said the Gramophone



"Every sound and word is thoughtfully placed, every dynamic shift is carried out with precision, every sentence (both verbal and musical) is phrased significantly. Michael Zapruder is working firmly embedded in the auteurial model of composition and arrangement, and he is a brilliant director."



Village Voice



".a damned fine singer-songwriter (and guitarist and pianist) from San Fran, Zapruder's little song-nuggets evoke Rufus Wainwright and newer Elvis Costello."



Performing Songwriter



"This record belongs on the shelf between Lennon's Double Fantasy and Westerberg's 14 Songs. Go get it."



Delusions of Adequacy



".gorgeous, uplifting, well-wrought, and magical."
