Those not familiar with Daniel Johnston's work should know that his approach to pop songwriting is similar to Fair's, with the exception that he suffers from serious bouts with manic depression and severe delusional behavior. That said, this pairing of these two musical savants is a successful foray into pop music as therapy. Neither one is blessed with a great voice (or technically, a good voice), the songs tend to be about simple pleasure, and the instrumentation is sparse. Despite both of them having flashes of happiness, this is by and large not a happy record; it's more of a soul-baring exercise. ~ John Dougan, All Music Guide
