"Consistently varied is probably an oxymoron, but it describes the feel of When I Pretend to Fall. Every listen is as fun as the first, and the standout tracks are sure to find their way onto your iPod playlist. It may be a long winter up ahead, but these pop innovators have made a record that will stay fresh and bright throughout the season."  (Lost At Sea)

"When I Pretend To Fall is a serving of audio excellence, topped with incredible lyrics and instrumentation. It's quite simply one of the best albums I've heard in years. There isn't any track you'll want to skip - the entire album is solid gold. You won't be able to simply listen once and then slip the CD into your leather-bound case. It not only begs, but deserves, several spins just to be able to appreciate its richness."  (Up & Coming Weekly)

"Sharing life lessons that few experience firsthand, but many will undoubtedly appreciate, Roderick's songs are stunningly personal. Smart lyrics and inventive arrangements drive the album, while the vivid cover art serves as the icing on the cake. Established as one of America's most promising new bands on the strength of their sharp indie-pop songs and the power of their live show, The Long Winters are a wonderful band any music fan should be ready to embrace."  (Pulse of the Twin Cities)
