Finnigan's use of the tonal palette of his 6-string creates aural images that are at the same time warm and inviting, and dark and complex. It's like a picture of life within a song: beauty tinged with sorrow at unexpected places.
- Kirk Albrecht, Minor 7th

...an exceptionally good-sounding record... it sounds like Finnigan and his instrument are right there in the room. Nice work.
- Alexander Varty, The Georgia Straight
