Impossible dream

"On standout track "Skynz", Bonar cautions that those who write history - those who spend their time focusing on others' pasts - "don't understand the price we pay to be complacent". Certainly Bonar has heeded her own words well; Impossible Dream has her charging forward, head full of steam, and if her dream had seemed impossible heretofore, it's here now looming bright above today's horizon".

"... Impossible Dream undoubtedly boasts the kind of bright melodies, satisfying hooks and nice turns of phrase that can worm their way into your psyche. Whether Bonar's songs are distinctive enough to leave a mark there, though, is not quite so certain".

"Haley Bonar's Impossible Dream is a brisk half-hour of barbed power-pop tunes that sting so sweetly that it's only after the fact you consider you might need a tetanus shot ... For an album about things that haven't worked out as she hoped, Impossible Dream finds her in mighty good spirits".

"These lyrics, Bonar's somewhat sullen delivery, her knack for melodies and phrasing, and the full-band sound she's grown into work together for a set of songs that stick and hold up to repeat plays".
