Eric R. Danton wrote in his Hartford Courant blog Sound Check: "Good news: Norah Jones opens her spring tour April 13 in Wallingford, according to her website. Even better, though, is that singer and songwriter M. Ward is the opening act. Ward sings on Jones' new album, 'Not Too Late,' and he drew huge amounts of praise for his own recent album, last year's 'Post-War.' And deservedly so: It's sweet, smart, catchy, slightly quirky indie-pop, well worth hearing live (and who knows when — or if — he'll come back to Connecticut). Although I would have loved to have seen a gig on his recent solo-acoustic tour, this is a superb opportunity for him, given the huge amount of exposure it guarantees. Plan to show up early, Norah fans, so you can bask in Ward's tousled voice and subtly stupendous guitar playing."
