"A fascinating debut... One wants to build a seedy yet expensive wine lounge somewhere in East Village just to be able to play this album around last call."
      -Pitchfork (8.0)

"Like those of Jeff Buckley, and Nick Drake before him, Doveman's songs are tragic serenades to isolation."
      -Flavorpill

"The kind of bittersweet music that would break your heart if it wasn't already broken -- don't miss 'The Acrobat.'"
      -Performing Songwriter

"Singing a sort of soul music for heady loners, Bartlett evokes an updated Nick Drake."
      -Time Out New York

"Evokes that rare moment where nostalgia and sadness meet love."
      -New York Press

"Yes, this is bedroom music, suitable for those free-thinking types who never wake up before noon, but it's also intriguing, honest and rewarding...Once you listen, you'll be hooked."
      -Splendid

"We're intrigued by Doveman, whose frontman, Thomas Bartlett, often sounds as if he's on the brink of passing out from heartache fumes. And you can hear every second of what he's going through as the songs' arrangements take a backseat to his voice. Fans of Belle and Sebastian should prick up their ears."
