"In any artistic endeavor it can be difficult to simply let go and let the art, the emotion, tell the story. But McMahon seems to accomplish this, gripping the listener from track to track with engaging storytelling that doesn’t let go. His voice rasps like autumn leaves raked across a parking lot . . ."
- Gabriel Traverso, Reno News & Review (Nov 01, 2007) - Reno News & Review
"The 30-year-old’s introspective sketches of dreams and romance lost but not forgotten in the turbulent twenties he’s just left — a landscape pocked by trysts and travels, empty bottles and an emblematic blue bathrobe — work as confessional poems. [McMahon is] a gifted acoustic guitarist who sings in a lyric tenor almost pretty despite a world-weary, cigarette rasp."
- Michael Sion, Reno Gazette Journal (Feb 15, 2012) - Reno Gazette Journal
"McMahon's elegant couplets here have the reluctant didacticism of a camp counselor singing life lessons around the fire to troubled teens; a shining optimism sung through a loving smile to the soul of the listener. I wanted to hug somebody . . ."
