Sounds Like: "There's nothing overdone here, because nothing needs to be. Henderson's thoughtful lyrics and evocative voice are so strong that they easily carry each song into the listener's mind, stirring up familiar images and memories as if Henderson was standing right beside you." Kory Wilcoxson, The Louisville Music News
"His precision with words doesn't preclude a strong emotional content, and his voice has the evocative qualities of an overcast afternoon." Jeffrey Lee Puckett, The Courier-Journal
"His haunting voice only makes his emotionally universal yet clearly personal lyrics all the more poignant." Anthony Bowman, LEO WEEKLY
"Very few albums really affect me the way this one has. In fact, I can probably count on one hand the CDs that I would place in a category with This High Risk EP. It is, and will remain, one of my very favorite CDs that I have had the privilege of writing a review for!†Mark Lush, midwestbands.com
"...[H]is voice and obvious emotional connection to his material are enough to splash a few posers out of his waters..." Joshua Hammann – Velocity Weekly
"If there is any justice in this world, Joel Henderson will have his next album produced by T-Bone Burnett...†Brian Smith – The Phantom Tollbooth
“Joel's thoughtful craftsmanship displays a degree of sophistication rarely heard in young songwriters. He tackles the personal and the universal with equal mastery - with never a hint of schmaltz. This is a difficult task, and Joel's the real thing.†Kit Malone – The Fractured Folk Showcase
