Press quotes from the US:

'The only real thing Mars shares with Guns n' Roses or the Who is a knack for hooks, and the hooks here have real barbs: They tug at you and just might draw some blood.'
- Rolling Stone

'Mars fashions beautiful songs, each with a distinct character but all linked by his gentle twang and his deft pop sensibility.'
–Tracks

'Throughout the eponymous V2 debut from Oxford, Miss., artist Charlie Mars, a spooky Southern Gothic aura gallops like some spectral pale stallion.'
– Paste

'Charlie Mars' V2 Records debut is, in all honesty, a stellar melting pot of sounds that somehow pulls off the soaring melodies of U2, the intelligence and introspection of Coldplay, and everyday southern-charmed vocals to deliver a fine 'beginning- to- end' record.'
— Relix

'Inspired by what others bypass as mundane, Mars find poignant beauty in the everyday struggle.'
- New York Metro

'...the album perfectly captures Mars' emotive voice and his confessional songcraft...the album is a testament to Mars' seasoned and strong writing in the vein of Springsteen, R.E.M., Neil Young, or Van Morrison.'
- Performing Songwriter

'Mars reveals himself to be a songwriter and singer with a true voice that's at once passionate, unpretentious, and often gorgeous.'
- Boston Globe

'The 29-year old Mississippian writes songs that sweat with passion about loving and losing...constructed with poetic lyrics and melodies that have the simple lines of traditional country ballads.'
- NY Post
