“It is a difficult task not to break into inappropriate sentimentality when discussing Walker's work, since, as many of his listeners no doubt know, his is a rare breed – perhaps a class all of his own – of a musician so moving, so human, so tender, and so resolute that it becomes impossible to speak of Walker's music without conjuring some deeply personal image of a time in one's life when that music served as comfort, perhaps even support.”

“Patrick Walker is a rarity in heavy metal circles. This man is a bona fide songwriter.”

“One of the greatest and most emotionally shattering [bands] on the planet.”

“Few artists write music like Patrick Walker. [His] innate talent and creativity have made his musical efforts in 40 Watt Sun a model of consistency and exceptional musicianship.”

“Simply one of the best songwriters I have had the pleasure of ever hearing... He has a way of describing and conveying the human condition, the messiness of emotions, and the enduring nature of love in a way that I do not think the rest of the metal world can touch, to say nothing of music at large.”
