"On Songs, Fullbright clearly stated his intention with the album's simple title; lacking the roiling narcissism of "Gawd Above" or the slinking blues of "Satan and St. Paul", Songs is not so much a veering departure as it is a deliberately studied variation on a theme. Laudable for its ambition, this well-crafted exercise in songwriting ultimately falls short of reaching From the Ground Up`s heights".

"He's in the Townes Van Zandt, Merle Haggard, Randy Newman, Jimmy Webb mold when it comes to songwriting. It's what he does, and while he's a fine singer, guitarist, pianist, and, as it turns out, whistler, it's his songs that shine through with clarity, care, and thoughtfulness, each one a fully realized little gem, and it's no coincidence that his second studio album is simply called Songs. They're the stars here. Recorded with a sparse, open warmth".
