Powerful rock-anthem musicianship supports Cook's husky, polished vocals. One highlight, "Lie," explores the bittersweet expectation of a lover's departure with charming poetry and understated guitar drifting over a powerful rhythm section ("You're hiding regret in your smile / there's a story in your eyes I've seen coming for a while / hang on to the past tense tonight"). Literary metaphors? Impressive. With song-writing cred, guitar-playing ability, and solid vocals, David Cook is an artist with staying power.

AllMusic
[David Cook is] a virtual parade of second and third stringers from the late '90s, all led by Chris Cornell, who continues his slow march into alt-rock anonymity here with "Light On," a perfectly fine bland power ballad that strangely finds the Soundgarden singer trying to write like those who followed in his footsteps.
