Prog Archives review: “This is an album I enjoy so much that I can see myself listening to it every day for quite some time: it’s filled with so many ingenious and effective nuances and layers that it’ll take a long time to get to really know much less distinguish and memorize each and every song–songs that are definitely all unique and thus deserve this kind of attention. It is an endeavor that I greatly look forward to.

(…) At the same time, I think this is Courtney Swain’s breakout “solo” album: She somehow chameleonically transmforms her voice and the emotions and very- personhood she possesses with virtually each and every song on this album. I am left stunned–humbled before her skills and talent. And I mean no disrespect to her stalwart crew of supporters: they are absolutely brilliant! But, come on guys, Courtney is the show! As an overall soul-sucking album, this might be as good or better than Shiny Eyed Babies! (I’ll let you know in a few months the staying effect this album holds when compared to that of their 2014 masterpiece.)

A masterpiece of very diverse and impressively innovative crossover progressive rock music. Without doubt, this is an album that is an essential listen (if not acquisition) for any self-professed lover of progressive rock music.”
