| | Professional Reviews | | Rolling Stone (p.71)
- 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "THE GLASS PASSENGER is a candid portrait of survival that reunites McMahon with the piano rock of his old band Something Corporate....With plain-spoken songs like these, he's already made a more honest album than many of his emo peers."Spin (p.110)
- 3 stars out of 5 -- "[M]atching hyperemotional melodies with his tender voice on dramatic tracks such as 'Swim'..." Alternative Press (p.147)
- 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "[I]ts lush instrumentation and fleshed-out arrangements realize his lofty goals....PASSENGER's music often feels like the soundtrack to a perfect California day." Kerrang (Magazine)
(p.52)
- "Jack's Mannequin is the work of Andrew McMahon....This is the work of a consummate songwriter....It never wants for quality." |
