“Of Sea and Stone’s strong, stunning harmonies shine on “I Love You, Goodbye,” a slow-burning ballad about the complicated, bitter end of a relationship. “This song took a big part of us. Heartbreak and loss are not easy subjects to write about, because they come from such painful experiences,” Manson tells The Boot. “But sharing our story is so worthwhile when we see the connection that our fans have to the song.”’
— Amy McCarthy, The Boot
“You’ve got to make the hair stand up on my arm a bit, and that’s what happened when I first heard these two.”
— Kevin Jonas Sr., Manager - The Jonas Brothers
“This new single highlights an abundance of paradoxical themes not only in title but even in execution – as their polished and poised vocal harmonies, cascade over their raw and vulnerable songwriting. There’s a certain inevitably expressed in “I Love You, Goodbye” – but we’re just thankful this real-life duo has found harmony in their own unity, and continue to graciously share their combined vulnerability and strengths with us.”

“The easy comparison here is The Civil Wars. Of Sea and Stone are one of the bands following in the legacy that The Civil Wars forged of haunting, intimate lyrics and harmonies. The sound definitely mirrors that iconic group. What we like most about this duo is the fact that they can fill the space of the track with a tight and evocative harmony that ultimately is all their own. They have this folk-country male-female duo thing down pretty good!”
— Ear To The Ground Music, "Keeping Country Alive - Five New Tracks"
“[Their] sound is familiar, yet all its own. I feel like I’ve heard something like them before, but I couldn’t tell you who or what it was that they reminded me of. Their songs made me nostalgic for something I couldn’t quite place.”
— Regina Anderson, The Maneater
““Both on stage and in the studio, Dierker and Manson find vocal power within their harmonies, two intertwining lines that fit seamlessly together to tell intimate stories.”
— Spencer Nachman, Music Mecca
