"Even in Jessee's most introspective moments, the sparkling folk-pop arrangements of Hotel Lights conjure a breezy autumn whimsy." - SPIN
"Mr. Jessee's murmuring, barely-there vocals compliment his bandmates' lulling folk-rock. The album's title track--a tender, piano--driven lament--could ably serve as a soundtrack for any long drive home." - THE NEW YORK TIMES
"Capturing the giant magnitude of tiny moments. Shine on you crazy diamond in the rough." - MAGNET
