Cool Mom Picks "While I found the album stunning and artistic on my own adult level, my six-year-old loved it too and I bet your kids will feel the same." Read the full review.
The Lovely Mrs. Davis "His sound on 'Backyard' and 'In the Storm' is very reminiscent of one of the most outstanding Beatles-influenced artists of today, Rufus Wainwright. . . . Great Adventures is a stunning and artistic album." Read the full review.
Warren Truiit, Children's Music That Rocks "This is a great one to listen to on your iPod while lounging on the beach with your toes in the sand, or relaxing on the living room couch in the middle of the afternoon with your little ones. Another indie rock masterpiece that kids, grownups, college students ... that everyone will fall more in love with every time they listen to it." Read the full review.
Zooglobble "The lyrics would just make the album slightly unusual if it weren't paired with a fabulous musical approach. Instrumentally, the album employs, among other things, horns, dulcimer, washboard, and ukelele. It's very Dan Zanes-ian in that regard. . . It's got a sense of wonder and playfulness that will interest kids (and their adults) for a long time. Definitely recommended." Read the full review.
Bruce Triggs, It Takes a Village
102.7 Co-Op Radio, Vancouver B.C. "I help program a local kids' music radio-show and we get in a lot of music to listen to and choose from. This crazy thing is the BEST record we've gotten since I've been here. It's like Subterranean-Homesick-Springsteen, in an Octopus's Garden with Brian Wilson vibrations. Wacky wacky fun."
