She & Him Volume Two

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The songs are all wistful....It's the sunniest sad record you'll hear all year -- pretty love songs set in a 'nation' where summer never ends."
"Deschanel is a convincing soft-rock goddess, conjuring Linda Ronstadt on the country shuffle 'Thieves' and Skeeter Davis on a cover of 'Gonna Get Along Without You.'"
"'Don't Look Back' brims with sweet piano plonk and Spector-ish harmonies..." -- Grade: B+
3 stars out of 5 -- "Once again, Deschanel demonstrates a deep understanding and irony-free love of innocent old-school pop craft in her writing..."
3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] succession of summery hooks carry the choruses, and Ward plays the production perfectly, keeping things spare and subtle..."
Paste (magazine) (p.83) - "Here, they provide a pleasant escape to a mythical America of endless horizons and youthful resilience..."
Pitchfork (Website) - "She & Him has given Dechanel her best role yet, one that shows off her charm and intelligence to best effect -- one that she is essentially writing for herself."
