"Everything is direct, whether CeeLo is communicating with a lover, reflecting upon parenthood and mortality, or beset with romantic instability. Moreover, it's thoroughly earnest with a high level of musical detail and a seemingly untreated result attained only by master craftsmen working with a schedule that precludes fuss. (It was recorded in two days, the first of which CeeLo assumed would be spent on writing.) When placed in the context of the singer's previous albums, its clarity, focus, and uniformly wholesome nature are almost stupefying. The restrictions have a liberating effect".

"Listening to CeeLo Green's new album, "CeeLo Green Is ... Thomas Callaway," is like getting into a time machine and heading to 1968 - not the '68 of Motown or Stax but that of Elvis, Glen Campbell, Johnny Cash and Dusty Springfield ... A few years ago a Black artist - even one as genre-defying as Green - delivering an album of classic "Wichita Lineman"-like material might have seemed startling ... these days, people have far more on their minds than who sings what. Great music, sung from the soul for the soul, may just be the salve they want".
