"Fanfare is something of an epic shrine to softer 70s rock: balanced on a sixpence between Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, John Lennon's Mind Games and namesake Dennis Wilson's exquisitely weary Pacific Ocean Blue. Any danger of a drift from homage into pastiche is avoided by the audible sincerity of the 38-year-old's visions, and some top-drawer songwriting." - Dave Simpson, The Guardian (2013)

 

"Fanfare’ is a perfect distillation of 1000 influences and steeped in a Laurel Canyon vibe that just screams authenticity as well as innovation. Each of the thirteen tracks highlights excellent songwriting and musicianship from the top draw with a cast of supporting players including the likes of David Crosby, Mike Campbell, Bentmont Tench, Graham Nash and Jackson Browne." - Americana UK

 

"Fanfare is an audiophile’s album. Not only is the musicianship exceptional (Wilson plays piano, keyboards, bass, guitar and drums, sometimes assisted by members of his touring band), but everything is cleanly miked up, deliciously recorded, exquisitely mixed. It also addresses some of Gentle Spirit’s drawbacks: Wilson’s whispery voice is clearer and less whiny, the spiritual hokum is played down, while the songs are better structured." - UNCUT
