"These tunes have more hooks than a tackle box." - Daily Freeman "Pop with its edgily tense cortege of suspense straining strings." - Losing Today "There's a little Bowie in there, and some Elliott Smith, but who cares about comparisons? Setting Sun writes and plays great songs." - New Times "The writing would have made it stand out either way." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazzette "It kind of made me feel like I was 15 again and listening to a new Sub Pop band." - Impact Press "Spacey, thoughtful, and -- dare I say it -- pretty." -Space City Rock "Setting Sun is good, and good for you." - News Observer (NC) "Levitt wails with toned-down tinges of Kurt Cobain's emptiness and Elliot Smith's pain." - West Coast Performer "It's urgent in a kind of methodical and knowing way." -Tasty Fanzine (UK) "An intimate lyrical style but expansive music, embracing driving beats, soothing instrumental interludes and aggressive rhythms." - Eugene Weekly "Like a never-ending treasure hunt. Each song evolves to some completely different end without losing its original idea." - Boise Weekly "With his voice a biting whisper and guitar work that's quietly emphatic and shrewd as it picks its way around the fretboard, Setting Sun's Gary Levitt has more than a little Elliott Smith in him. We're talking old Elliott Smith here, i.e., the sad, intimate and cloudy days of Roman Candle." - Willamette Weekly (Portland) "Maybe he’s just an independent thinker who’s onto something." - Las Cruces Pulse
