"Fred Thomas is the kind of storyteller that you seem to meet through his music.” - Under the Radar
“If you are feeling a gnawing pit in your belly, a bleak sense of pointlessness that short-circuits your every function… welcome, Fred’s been here awhile. The water’s just fine.” - Pitchfork
“…Thomas’ candid, conversational vocal style feels like he’s both inviting you into his thoughts with the utmost trust and performing an animated, poetic piece of social commentary to a packed-out bar.” - Paste
"Thomas remains a master of punchy and verbose indie rock tracks that barrage your brain with so much information you don’t realize you’re body’s caught up in the beat." - Stereogum
"It’s more like a diary or a therapy session than a rock album, and it kind of functions as all three." - Brooklyn Vegan
