“Eleanor Friedberger's second solo album, which she co-wrote with alt-folk singer/novelist John Wesley Harding, feels like a travelogue of the mind. Personal Record is jam-packed with clever wordplay and fleeting emotions, but the tight, buoyant pop arrangements keep it from getting bogged down.”
“Listening to the classic-rock jigsaw puzzles Eleanor Friedberger and her brother Matthew create in the Fiery Furnaces can be difficult work. As a solo artist, she's more approachable. Her second LP is full of crisp, jangly indie pop that can suggest Harry Nilsson or a bookish early Stones, and it's packed with stories of young people too mopey and absent-minded to realize the person across the bar”
