These are carefully crafted tunes, written with a deft hand and a gift for storytelling… [that] showcase a dexterity with the English language that allows Englebert to wax lyrical about the human condition with joy, honesty, and wit. He also knows how to pen a melody, and that makes for a heady brew" (Brett Callwood, Music Connection Magazine, August 2025)
