"It's as melancholy as anything Gram Parsons or The Stones ever attempted in the early '70's, as orchestrally-ambitious as Bowie's most experimental work, and as groovin' as any CCR hit." - Charleston City Paper
"He's forged a musical style that blends smoking country rock and dreamy '80s Britpop in way that must leave Ryan Adams stricken with envy. Those who latch on to From the End... will likely find themselves returning to it for years." - Performing Songwriter
"It is a thoughtful, funny, mournful, bittersweet CD full of haunting lyrics played with an almost psychedelic sentimentality..." - Exclaim
"The album paints him as a troubadour with a brawler's mentality, a rough-and-tumble punk rocker and a Gen-Y soul shouter who's not afraid to record a brooding, acoustic tune." - Magnet
