"Very similar to the eponymous 2015 debut from the collective, placing the emphasis on a communal set of voices who harmonize, lift, share, and support their colleagues. Some of the cast of characters is quite familiar, either from Watkins Family Hour records or their regular concerts at the Largo in Los Angeles ... As notable as the guest spots are, the repertoire is equally diverse and impressive: the set opens up with the Zombies' "The Way I Feel Inside," winds through tUnE-yArDs' "Hypnotized," and Elliott Smith's "Pitseleh," and [Jackson] Browne's "The Late Show," not to mention the country standard "Tennessee Waltz." What ties everything together is how the Watkins shape each of the songs to fit their aesthetic, which is at once homey and sophisticated. Everything sounds welcoming and comforting, yet not quite familiar, with melodies seeming to run on their own accord and the harmonies emphasizing unexpected emotions".
