Critical reception

Matt Conner, indicating in a four star review by CCM Magazine, describes, "the time invested to record his first solo album in six years, You, was well worth it, with a solid pop set that sets the mood and draws you in with shades of Matthew Perryman Jones, David Gray and Emerson Hart."[3] Signaling in a mixed review for Triton News, Ana Magallanes recognizes, "With instrumentals that lack in depth or melodic variation, the lyrics of his songs are what stand out… Or at least should stand out. You is a delightful and angelic reflection on love, but just a bit too clean and idealistic."[4]
