"Where many artists initiating conversations between pop music and the avant-garde deploy strategies from the latter to corrupt the former, Perri works the other way — he makes meticulously layered, experimental music that feels as breezy and inviting as the smoothest yacht rock. It is, in a word, timeless." – Pitchfork (8.0)
"Sandro Perri is not a musician in a hurry. The title track from last year’s In Another Life, with its strong echoes of Arthur Russell, unspooled over the course of 25 gorgeous minutes. Here, “Time (You Got Me)” is similarly languorous, gently tickling the ears for at least 10 minutes after Perri stops singing. The rest of Soft Landing’s songs are more conventional, with “Back On Love” even tracing a suave Brill Building melody, although all are set adrift on ripples of eddying guitar and lazy tropical percussion. In an angry, impatient world it takes real dedication to carve out space for music this blissful." – UNCUT ★★★★
"Arguably more concise than its predecessor, the album feels like a culmination of Perri’s work from the past decade, and beyond, extending to some of the more lo-fi hushed folk of his earlier work… Perri reaches near pop perfection on the lounge-funk number “Wrong About the Rain,” which grooves and ruminates in harmony." – Aquarium Drunkard
"Toronto producer forgoes avant-electronics for guitar on gently cosmic balladry à la Astral Weeks/Mickey Newbury/Peter Green. Meditative "Time (You Got Me)" sets the pace: a gently rambling rumination twinkling with congas, shakers and bird-like flute." – MOJO ★★★★
"[Soft Landing] is soothing, resolved and heavily evocative of laidback '70s pop-funk and soft rock… Its blurry nostalgia is what you might imagine it sounds like inside the head of Bob Ross as he paints, an aural pulling-of-the-chutes that allows us to float down like a peaceful feather on the summer breeze. If Soft Landing doesn't make you feel good inside, all the drugs in the world won't help you." – Exclaim!
