Excerpt: "<em>On Holiday </em>is essentially an experiment in the  emotionally-ached and the musically placid, several times throughout the  album Bennett will be crooning in a theatrical, heartsick demeanor, but  surrounded in a lethargic, intentionally-ignorable mashing of guitar  wallows and twangy atmospherics... That sense for risky  songwriting elevates <em>On Holiday</em> as a whole... the record gets by more on  nostalgia rather than memorable songs. That being said, it’s still a  helluva lot more interesting than your average, factory-pressed indie-rock album. Rich Bennett is trying to do something incredibly ambitious,  and maybe to a fault, taking the essentials of lounge, something almost  universally joked about, and recording them in a new context and for a  new audience."
