Jim DeRogatis - Chicago Sun Times

"With its gleaming guitars and sing-along choruses, his second solo album, The Burlington Northern, is giddy yet solid, slick yet ragged, with enough rage to catch fire and enough resolution to tug manipulatively at the heartstrings. I hereby add Daily to the list of musicians who are making the records Bob Mould should have."

Monica Kendrick - Chicago Reader

"Daily has a way of singing that has enough sheer emotional force to convincing you not only that he really means what he's saying, but that what he's saying really means something important. Whether he's describing the release he felt smashing someone's walkman or describing someone's fantasy about dying in a fiery plane crash while making out with Reese Witherspoon, Daily commanders your attention completely."

Dave Heaton - Pop Matters

"Tracks like the opener, "The Kids Are Not Alright," "Reese Witherspoon," and "Oh My" are some of the best acoustic-based pop songs I've heard in a while, but are pushed into the realm of the truly memorable thanks to the experimental sonic palette that spices up the compositions."

Deep Fry Bonanza

"The rest of the tracks sparkle like gems, each with their own bright little moments."

Mike Montgomery - Strength

"Daily can write a mean pop song when he puts his mind to it. You won't know whether to listen for allegorical undertones in "The Hitler of Crickets" or just crank the volume and enjoy its bell-enhanced riffs. "Allison" provides another gateway to pop nirvana, and "Oh My" gives the album sublime closure, with a weird little coda that'll satisfy even Elephant 6 fans. These are the sort of songs people babble about until you buy the album just to shut them up...and then, a few days later, you call to thank them."

George Zahora - Splendid

"The album reaches an apex of beauty and wistfulness during the subdued "On the Chin (UK Surf version)." Dispensing with all the noise, Daily merely employs a soft, down-tempo acoustic melody and light percussion with slightly-above-a-whisper, layered vocal echoes to create a shoegazing masterpiece."

Liam O'Donoghue - Buzz Music

"Strange, catchy and immediate, it's the type of album that could only come from the adventuresome independent scene in Chicago."

Mark Guarino - Daily Herald
