"His influences are on his sleeve: the British fingerstyle folk of guitarists Davy Graham and Bert Jansch, American primitive guitar soli à la Takoma Records, the delirious psychedelic folk of Tim Buckley, and the bluesy jazz-folk of Tim Hardin and more. But Walker's sound reaches deeper and wider; it cannot be reined in by them ... All Kinds of You may not contain new sounds -- they weren't new for his influences, either. But Walker's harmonic sensibility is vast. With his idiosyncratic compositional method and stunning -- yet emotionally resonant -- playing technique, he is able to dissect, distill, recombine, and, just like his predecessors, reshape the music that inspires him in his own image".

"All Kinds of You is good enough to be cited as one of the notable records of the ongoing odd-folk revival when this stuff eventually gets another look-in in a few decades' time, with peaks that suggest there are even more interesting things to come from Walker".
