““He has captured the best of the A+ songwriting skills from the old school (Tom Petty, Jackson Browne, Eagles etc.) and incorporated a modern but organic approach to the production and arrangement elements. When I find myself singing along halfway through the first chorus and he takes the structure in fresh but easily accessible directions, the end result is a very satisfying listening experience that makes me want to keep coming back for more"--Mark Keefner,

“These country-tinged soft Americana-based pop tunes go down nice and easy. The main focal point is Craig's cool understated vocals...but there are all kinds of nifty soothing guitars chiming around in the background. Songs are the meat of this album...and all ten pretty much hit the target. This guy has a sound that could easily appeal to millions upon millions of listeners.”—Don Seven, LMNOP.com
