"More like a greatest hits album than a first CD, Blue Time offers memorable tunes and smart lyrics, thoughtfully assembled. A strong debut." - Audio Lunchbox
"A good, solid album of intelligent songs. Most impressive are the moments when the sound and sense of the songs really work together....And amidst all the wordplay come these quiet, understated moments of real empathy....This is smart stuff, and no less evocative for being smart." - Sonic Garden
"If ever Beck jams with the Allman Brothers at Billy Joel’s house, they’ll probably produce something that sounds like what’s on this record. Let’s just hope they get Barnhill to write the lyrics." - BuyMusic
"An unusual and special collection of songs. The production is spare, with a range of styles...between gentle ballads and catchy pop....The themes here include facing the future (or failing to), mending broken relationships (or failing to), family, fears, regrets -- and hope. A woman loses herself at college. Siblings rekindle (literally) their lost friendship and confront their past. A child deals with divorcing parents. And the language is great. Some of it’s funny and most of it is sad, and all of it is almost painfully direct; there’s no wasted space on this album." - Mperia
