Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - 6/21/01, p.76
4 stars out of 5 - "...Great pop....the best of POSES transmits the impatient, careening, manic life of a pleasure seeking New Yorker and still keeps a carefully calibrated lightweight focus, the way those old, literate pop songs did..."
Spin - 7/01, pp.128-30
7 out of 10 - "...He reels witty pop reincarnations of the classical lieder he reveres, delivered in a lugubrious burr that's distinct and sophisticated....never running short on clever conceit."u Q Magazine (8/01, p.142) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...An album of love songs and broken promises, exquisite and truly infectious..."
