"There's a palpable sense of joy to Here If You Listen, an emotion that's evident in the harmonies but also in the liquid, quicksilver transitions between open-string drones, jazz changes, and even trace hints of funk. At its best, which it often is, Here If You Listen plays like a hybrid of Steely Dan, Joni Mitchell, and CSN, a combination that is soothing and surprising in equal measure. It's an album that confirms Crosby is at an unexpected and satisfying latter-day creative peak".
