"The debut album by this 26-year-old New York anti-folker plays like an updated musical version of Annie Hall, only with an irrational young female singer in the lead rather than a phobic middle-aged comic. Using simple acoustic textures and her fine, elastic voice, Jaymay unravels a bittersweet love story, perfectly capturing the self-obsession, waspish humour, endless neuroses and almost hourly mood swings that typify new love in a wintry Big Apple. Exuding justifiable confidence in its writing and delivery, this is a warm, witty and wonderful record." Observer Music Monthly, 4 out of 5

"Autumn Fallin' tells the story of an intense love affair that ends just as a bitter New York winter sets in. It's a clever narrative arc that's book ended by two songs that describe the same lover from opposite ends of the journey. The songs are poignant pen-pictures of young love in Manhattan, rich in lyrical details and bursting with sweet acoustic melody. The album delivers a fresh talent from the New York singer-songwriting gene pool, one in a bloodline that rins from Dylan all the way to Norah Jones." Q, 4 out of 5
