"This Cincinnati trio shows an interesting perspective on writing pop alternative songs that break the current mold.
The result is a very mature effort with songs that are catchy without being generic, lively without being too loud,
and intense without being overblown."
- Music Morsels

"While Where You Go may be brief, it is never slight. It's always a wonderful experience, finding an artist who can say so much and leave a vast impression on you over the course of six songs, and Tonefarmer have won me over. Does the world still like intelligent music? I hope so, for Tonefarmer's sake; they have quietly discovered a wonderful pop-song formula, and it's merely a matter of time until the world soon discovers their magic. Still, an excellent record like Where You Go should not go unheard; luckily, I have this distinct feeling that it won't."
