All Music Guide
It's too bad such a fine record has to end with a misfire, but you can just hit stop before you get there and be completely satisfied with the really good album Son, Ambulance have crafted.

Alternative Press
Like Wilco, it's what SA do with what they've borrowed. It helps that the duo stitch it up Frankenstein-style and move on to the next idea fast. [Aug 2008, p.162]

Delusions of Adequacy
This album is not a quick or necessarily easy listen, but it is one of the better ones that I have had the pleasure of listening to this year.

Spin
Omaha-based multi-instrumentalist Joe Knapp spent three years making Someone Else's Déjà Vu, and the album is another reminder that lush studio-reliant soft and prog rock of the late '70s can still offer legitimate inspiration.

Pitchfork
Someone Else's Déjà Vu would've benefitted from Knapp making a stronger claim of ownership to his lofty visions.

Tiny Mix Tapes
I listened to this CD quite a bit, and it took some work for it to grow on me. I’ll admit that it finally did, but I’d say Knapp and Koster’s experiment was more failure than success.

Drowned In Sound
The man wants so much to create a ‘70s-apeing epic, but fails. Yet that's not to say this is a bad record per se, it's just that Knapp's whole Son, Ambulance project has a good few obvious clangers dragging it down.

Under The Radar
There’s an anonymity that seeps into the lyrics as well, as Knapp’s conversational tone makes them seem off-the-cuff. [Summer 2008]
