MUSICOMH

For all the humming and picking, the songs feel too similar to each other to hold interest throughout.

A.V. CLUB

The Head And The Heart falters most on account of Jonathan Russell and Josiah Johnson’s pre-packaged, Cracker Barrel lyrical conceits.

CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND

The Head and The Heart have ultimately created a debut that will most likely be forgotten by summer.

40
POPMATTERS

The Head and the Heart sounds all too aware of what will draw the most people in, and what starts as pleasant turns into something all too often indistinct.

38
PITCHFORK

The Head and the Heart is a lackluster mélange of vaguely old-time instrumentation, wan gospel harmonies, and heart-always-on-sleeve songwriting.
