"Composer-lyricist Adam Gwon—one to definitely watch—captures the language and restless rhythms of modern-day New York and New Yorkers with all their itchiness, irritability and neurosis. Conflicts—interpersonal between two pairs of people and each within himself/herself—are set to restless jangles and little bursts of likeable music and well-rhymed words that echo natural personality-rich conversations and emails and streams of consciousness that become floods. Pianist Vadim Feichtner is all the accompaniment the score has and all it needs: his precise and attentive and lively work is a real presence of its own. Hunter Foster, Lisa Brescia, Kate Wetherhead and especially Jared Gertner as the dorky but determined suitor turn in strong and believable characterizations in this tale of taking chances and making connections. Petty but pesky frustrations of these folks' Ordinary Days and ways give way to much deeper revelations and risks in the latter part of the tale, bringing surprising and affecting impact." - Talkin' Broadway

"Adam Gwon's spirited score for this show about four New Yorkers whose paths unexpectedly cross springs to life buoyantly on disc. As composer, he has a deft way of bridging both pop and musical theater vernacular, and Gwon's humorous lyrics can often take the listener off-guard, frequently provoking wide grins. The four-person ensemble and music director Vadim Feichtner on piano bring enormous warmth to the piece, which could prove to be a favorite in peoples' CD collections and on regional stages." - Theatremania.com
