“Musically speaking, Jack Johnson has subtly moved beyond the jammy acoustica coloring his first few albums. To the Sea, his latest, doesn’t sound much at all like beach-bum bonfire music. It’s too crisp, too focused on ear-candy pastiche, which isn’t a bad thing at all. … Johnson hasn’t totally ditched his knack for funky-folk summer jams. He is from Hawaii, after all. But even on the tracks that can be considered throwbacks, like the reggae-tinged ‘The Upsetter’ and ‘Red Wine, Mistakes, Mythology,’ there exists a palpable sense that he now wants to trick out his music in ways he never really cared to before, back when he was more about keeping things a bit more natural and earthy.” – Justin Farrar, Rhapsody
