"Introspective, melodic folk-pop simply doesn’t get much finer than the new CD by Newburyport’s Levine. That rare album where a whole mind and heart is revealed." -- Daniel Gewertz, The Boston Herald
With poignant clarity, Levine sings beautiful songs of love and hope with a down-home feel good country flair. It isn't country music in the traditional sense, but it is a gorgeous slice of Americana that's sweet, innocent and spiritual and deserving of attention. -- Douglas Sloan, Metronome Magazine
