"O'Rourke is always clever and funny, but the driving force in his music is the art of the arrangement. Many of the greatest pleasures on Simple Songs come from how certain instruments are layered together, how the chords are voiced and the harmonic progressions unfold. The songs, played by O'Rourke and a cast of Tokyo-based musicians, are generally driven by guitar and piano, but strings, pedal steel, mandolin, horns, and woodwinds are all featured prominently".

"O'Rourke og elguitar i smukke unisone fraseringer. Violinerne, der ånder Appalachernes vilde natur. En kammermusikalsk passage i et stort klangrum, der afbrydes af rockbandet i det lukkede studie. De sofistikerede breaks, der får en til at snappe efter vejret. Klaveret der glider som glasklart vand ned ad klipperne i et buldrende Monument Valley. Folkemusik, kompositionsmusik, postrock og intime såvel som hymniske popsange. Og lyden, for helvede, lyden. En analog himmel af perfekt vægtede sjæle".
