"There is an almost David Gilmour quality to the songs on this album. The lush songs just ooze feeling and pathos. It's hard not to be moved by such tracks as Every so Often which has an almost epic feel to it. While the orchestration is quite big the songs sound basic and approachable. A lot of effort clearly went into the tracks on this album and it shows.

"There is a soundtrack element to this CD that just screams for some of the tracks to be included in the latest American drama. They would work especially well as the show ends in those dramatic emotional scenes.

"Why Gronk does not have a deal is beyond me. He clearly has the talent that should warrant such an event.

"There is something for everyone on here. Mellow yet still atmospheric and interesting, it's quite an enjoyable trip. Perfect headphones music as you drift off to sleep on an overnight flight."

"Summery rock, mainstream but quirky ... Buy yourself a gift this holiday season and get introspective with Gronk."

Erica Ramon, Hits Daily Double, on 'The Long Way Round'

"There is something for everyone, despite the fact the CD runs on the mellow side. There is no whiney angst on show here, but a more introspective solo style. Not a party CD, but a mellow evening with a bottle of wine type of release. Even better would be see him play it live in some smokey venue across the land.

Particular faves are Wanderlust, Good Morning Carolina and the title track. I have said it before and I meant it. Why the hell do some of those droning dreary singer-songwriter types have deals and this guy is yet unsigned? On a limited budget he produces better results than many a major-label release. Gronk’s songwriting would fit in anywhere: New York, London, Nashville or anywhere else good music is appreciated. If you are a major label artist and need a co-songwriter seek the guy out."
