"At 37, Harper Simon apparently doesn't mind taking after his pops, Paul, who used to showcase the young, guitar-playing Harper when he was touring on Graceland. Paul co-wrote two tracks on Harper's debut, a friendly album recorded with experienced session men, and you can hear the likeness in the serene alto Harper employs on songs like the wry, acoustic "Ha Ha." He also skews country, notably on the Byrds-y "Shooting Star"....his well-crafted, breezily pretty melodies keep you coming back." - Rolling Stone

"Simon is another in a long line of musicians to have had “The Gift” since they were floating in the womb. Liam Finn has it. So did Jeff Buckley. Jakob Dylan … right, not the best example. I guess being the son of the guy who wrote some of the greatest songs ever—”The Boxer,” “I Am a Rock,” “Cecilia”—could be considered a boon … or a curse. But I have a feeling Harper Simon is quietly going to make a name for himself this year.

A glistening and lush recording where country twang meets melancholy pop melodies. And while you can definitely hear the influence of his father, it doesn’t overshadow the fact that Harper Simon’s songs are simply really good." - TheDaysOfLore.com
