Great Indie Music [13] describes "The Departure" as, "His aptly named debut album, The Departure, exposes the soul of this storyteller and his melting-pot-musical-roots and proves that Teachenor has truly been given a genre-less gift and can appeal to listeners of all walks of life."
Music journalist, Larry Nager, gave the album a very favorable review writing, "Walking a fine line between contemporary country, pop and rock, Jamie Teachenor proves he's a lot more than just another Nashville hit songwriter on his aptly-titled new CD, The Departure. Alternately edgy and sensitive, his songs and arrangements provide a strong showcase for his emotive voice and virtuoso piano. From the opener 'Nothing Sound' to the elegantly melodic 'Free Birds Have Cages' to the desolate beauty of 'Never Happened,' 'The Departure' marks the arrival of a strikingly original talent." Nager is the former music Editor for The Memphis Commercial Appeal, The Cincinnati Enquirer and The Cincinnati Post and contributor to Rolling Stone, GRAMMY Magazine, The San Francisco Chronicle, Bluegrass Unlimited, Living Blues, Blues Revue, Musician, Frets, Nashville Arts & Entertainment, etc...
