a consistent album with solid songs from beginning to end. "Love, Love, Love" will keep you smiling with it's quirkiness(ALL SMILES, WE FIT TOGETHER, SWEETER) all while still managing to hold your attention with penner's witty & charming lyrical work (A LITTLE BIT CRAZY, DON'T COME OVER, APPLES & ONIONS). it's always refreshing to hear an artist who has a grasp on their own identity, which then translates to a complete album that doesn't lead the listener down any "detours". the album contains strong musicianship, thought-out production and overall comes across "tasteful" as it doesn't blatantly force bubble yum into your ears. "Love, Love, Love" is catchy without even trying and for that i applaud you Jess Penner. 5 stars with a cherry on top. ~ brahdah dakine – itunes.apple.com
