“so patently a Bob Wratten album. Anyone who has ever heard a Field Mice, Northern Picture Library, or Trembling Blue Stars album knows exactly what this will sound like: a mix of acoustic guitars and sequencers, wordless female backing vocals, and slow tempos, with Wratten’s pleasantly anonymous voice tying it all together. Alive to Every Smile falls squarely into the category of, as Yogi Berra said, ‘If you like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing you’ll like.’” - Stewart Mason, AllMusic
