"In subtle ways, this album ties together all of the various disciplines Gunn has previously explored, from American primitive guitar playing to jazz, folk, indie rock, and drone music. Yet it is also something entirely new with a unique sound that is a joy to spend time with".

"Look no further for your new perfect Sunday morning album. Steve Gunn's sixth solo effort handily fills that bill ... It will likely take a few spins to define the songs since they are pieces of a whole that marinate in a similar ethereal stew. A good pair of headphones also enhances the experience. But in any format Other You is a collection where Steve Gunn summons you to soak into its tones, keeping the listener philosophically and sonically inspired. It's a release you'll want to live with for a while, and not just on Sunday mornings".

"Recorded in Los Angeles, the songwriter and guitarist's sixth solo album is ambitious yet effortless. Even his lead guitar seems almost to melt away into the delicate arrangements".
