Dusted Magazine
With The Red River, his best yet, richer, more fluid arrangements tip his songs from straight folk blues into gospel, soul and even hints of R&B.;

Lost At Sea
Smalldone's solemn and controlled croon, though subtly emotive, amounts to dismal verbosity. The Red River is a serious, introspective project that, like the narrating wanderer, shows no signs of its roots.

PopMatters
For a while now, Smaldone has been the kind of singer-songwriter who deserves more attention than he’s getting, and The Red River is further evidence of that.

Drowned In Sound
Smaldone’s rattling, tumbling, ragtime ballads are engaging rather than just pretty; plus, the narratives are consistently well-realized, albeit that the interpretations are largely closed.
