"Going Places provides a shared sense of solace when it's needed the most. The quiet contemplative "Indian Summer" may be the sole exception, but its soothing strains provide a welcome respite regardless. Taken in tandem, there's a charming quality attached to this music that's absolutely undeniable".
"Going Places isn't a particularly challenging record, but that's not the point. Rouse imbues these little vignettes and easy-going love songs with his trademark charm and wit, creating a self-contained mood that has plenty of appeal".
"The mix of songs that sound like they're being written on the spot sitting on a stool in a bar, with tracks that are a bit more polished and contain several musical layers makes for a compelling listen".
