"With the help of longtime producer Ed Cash, this Nashville-based singer-songwriter has crafted a collection that is perfect for a windows-down drive on a warm spring day and deep enough for a contemplative afternoon at the coffeehouse. What We Want, What We Get straddles that fine line between pop and pulpit, asking the question, "What do we do when life doesn't turn out like it should?" The answer? Crank up more of this addictive pop and sing along." - Rhapsody.com

"In writing and performing the songs on What We Want..., Barnes has clearly pulled from several influences, and his integration of these varying sounds is nearly flawless. It would be hard to identify a single weak track on this album, as each one has its own appeal and the quality is consistently top shelf. Ironically, with What We Want, What We Get, the listener gets exactly what he wants. This is modern pop at its most genuine, original, and masterfully executed."
