[7] Crooked Fingers lead singer Eric Bachmann provides backing vocals[6] on this "smoldering rock" track that sounds like it belongs on Jason Molina's Songs: Ohia.
[6] The "bombastic" track would fit in on Trials & Errors from Secretly Canadian labelmate Magnolia Electric Co. and breaks up the album's "folkier elements" [5] "with bells and strings, minimal piano and brushed drums".
[7] The tune features "violin, electric guitar, and the echo of distantly otherworld keyboard noise"[5] then it, and the album, "fade into oblivion" with "a lonely piano coda and a desperate plea" to 'Grow old with me'.
[9] Brian Howe of Pitchfork writes that "while it isn't Jurado's most daring work, it is among his most immediately engaging" and refers to the album's melody as "rich, fragrant and utterly human".
However, Reed Fischer from CMJ New Music Monthly writes that Jurado's "detachment is effective about half the time, [but] it breeds indifference" and that the "superb" guest vocals from Rosie Thomas and Eric Bachmann "aren't enough to cobble together the king of compelling, sympathetic portrait he's more than capable of painting".
