The Deli NYC
PT Walkley’s soft vocals make for an intimate musical experience. His debut album, Mr. Macy Wakes Alone is a charming medley of whimsical tunes that piece together to create an all-inclusive work. Sure the songs are great on their own, but the way Walkley molds each song together creates a perfect storybook…

Blogcritics.org Music Review
In a day and age of singles and standout tracks filling Billboard charts, a concept record like Mr. Macy Wakes Alone could be risky. But with extraordinary musicality, tender and compelling lyrics, and a fantastic sense of showmanship, P.T. Walkley has delivered one of the most engagingly creative albums of the year.
Popwreck(oning) Review
From the moment the string quartet began sawing away during “Introduction”, the beginning track to PT Walkley’s new album, Mr. Macy Wakes Alone, it is blatant that this is not your usual acoustic sing-a-long.

The vibrant strings of the introductory song are an early indication of the album’s musical expansiveness. Walkley’s song structures are widely arrayed, as he creates a unique soundscape to compliment each track…
Feeling the love from NPR
Read the entire article at NPR but here is a little taste…
The character descriptions are so colorful and the instrumentation so whimsical that Mr. Macy Wakes Alone could easily be adapted for the stage…PT Walkley expertly matches the dark and satirical plot elements with equally romantic string arrangements, eerily jubilant choral vocals, and brass interludes.

When I first heard a few selections off Mr. Macy Wakes Alone, I was immediately drawn to the instrumentation. You will find the “usual” instruments like drums, guitars, bass, piano… but you will also hear a wonderful arrangement of strings, horns, flutes, choirs, a harp, and a saw…It is definitely more than this “sonic collage” that makes the album sonically interesting, though… the arrangements are just as complex. Check out “Calvin the Coroner” and you will see what I mean. Built inside two minutes and seventeen seconds, PT takes you through distinct movements within this song … I absolutely LOVE the piano work that bookends the tune
