“[‘Don’t Believe’ is a] soulful serenade to a detached lover, it blends laid-back drums, soft guitar and fuzzy, plucky synthesizers to make a smooth '70s sound.” - NPR

“Silky smooth...spindly and soulful.” - Stereogum

“Okely’s soulful, Stax-inflected vocals and stinging guitar work stand out in any crowd.” - Billboard

“An album that seeps into your consciousness...In a Mood creates a blanket of sound, each layer blending smoothly, a sonic gradient of guitar, organ, strings, bass, and vocals.” - Noisey

“‘It Goes On’ sounds completely effortless, and it’s the ease with which Slow Dancer flits between country-influenced guitar licks to something closer to indie-rock that makes him such a fascinating prospect.” - DIY
