One Review Stated:
" Each track is a melodic glance into the different styles of Chris’ playing, and you can’t help but be enchanted by the journey on which this album takes you."
Asked in a radio interview about his approach to writing, Chris replied:
" I don't have a certain style or structure to the way i write, i just write. 90% of the time its is done as i record, add an instrument here and there, a certain melody sparks a mood and you run with it, and by the time i have finished the song, it could sound anything from Alicia Keys to Mettalica."
