Allmusic had a promising review of Donavon's new album. If you bought Donavon's first album "Donavon Frankenreiter" that featured "Free" then you really liked him. If you then bought his second album "Move By Yourself" you thought "Did Donavon and Jamiroquai become one person and produce a funk disco album?". Let's just say his second album was very different. But there is hope Donavon F. fans:
This time out there is less energy and funk than on 2006's Move by Yourself, and also fewer memorable songs. It feels like a bit of a backslide from that album's ambition and drive, but still results in a perfectly fine record

I LOVE this new record. I see it as a perfect mix of the first two. Not too chill like the first, but not too disco like the second. It's perfection set to music. And I love all the rad new risks he took with the mariachis and new style of lyrics. They really paid off! Great work, Donavon!!
That's great to hear, thanks for the comment. I became a huge fan of Donavon's with his first album and then was sorely dissapointed with his second in the direction that he went with it. Anyways, great to hear that he revived his roots with some new stuff as well.
