"...a voice that echoes with the timber of Tom Petty and Marshall Crenshaw is shrouded in jangling country rock tropes. It's how The Dingoes may have sounded in the 21st Century, and THAT is a ringing endorsement of a fine album."
- Trevor J Leeden, Rhythms Magazine
​
"...this album is great – a real grower. A mixture of rocking alt-country gems and some laid-back, dreamy tracks. But good tunes are always to the fore... It’s a gritty collection with some superb songs and a great album cover. Bravo."
- AmericanaUK on The Right Dereliction, awarding the album 8/10
"Swiftly driving along on a Hammond organ trill with arching, scything guitars, this is a shimmering piece of antipodean Americana filled with a cinematic breadth."
- Backseat Mafia on 'The Rose of Jericho
​
"The EP, six tracks of alt-country rock possesses a real late-night barroom feel – it sounds clean but rustic at the same time…. Macklin’s keys end up providing a thread through the recording, making one imagine Carr and company recording this EP late at night with whiskey glasses atop of pianos and amps….. his voice sounds like the bastard child of Mick Jagger and the Go-Betweens Robert Forster."
– Garry Westmore, Beat Magazine
"Vocally, Carr scowls, reaches a crescendo, pulls the reins back when needed and never overplays his hand/voice/intention…. There’s plenty here to suggest that a full-length record would sit rather nicely, and proudly, among Melbourne’s roots elite when, and if, the chap takes the next step"
– Nick Argyriou, unpaved.com.au

"Melbourne singer-songwriter Al Carr has unveiled the music video for his foot-stomping track, ‘Good Endings’. The song is the first release off Carr’s upcoming album and has the familiar twang we’ve come to love from him."
"The single reminds us that sometimes parting ways is “all we’ve got”, and not every ending is a bad one when staying together could be worse. Fortunately, Carr’s smooth vocals and alt-country melodies on the track do a beautiful job of communicating the seemingly brutal truth in a warm manner "
