Critical reception


In a retrospective review of Water Sign, Sharon Mawer of AllMusic commented on the song's "driving rock beat" and recommended the track by labelling it an AMG Pick Track.[3] In a review of New Light Through Old Windows, Mike DeGagne of AllMusic said: "Rea's soothing voice is indeed attractive, and the songs that are included on this set are wisely chosen examples of his smooth style. "I Can Hear Your Heartbeat" and "Stainsby Girls" are two of the better tracks that showcase his slick, demure-like manner."[6]
