All Music Guide Review

Jim Greer has the street smarts and innovative tendencies of Beck and the quirky melodic sense of They Might Be Giants fused with Brian Wilson's mad genius -- so why has no one heard of him? Following the release of his debut, the one-man indie-rock super-session Lucky Day, Greer collaborated with genre-benders like Tipsy and Dr. Octagon. The effects wore off, and Greer combines loopy cocktail jazz-isms to his already fully developed sense of melodic indie-rock, from the kooky "Southern States" to the sparse, effective keyboard number "Dream On It." ~ Denise Sullivan, All Music Guide
