Adam Nowek says:
"I've always felt that if The Promise Ring were from Vancouver instead of Milwaukee, Sean's photographs would be in the liner notes of Nothing Feels Good. For me, Sean always seems to examine this strange relationship between nostalgia, consumption, and humanity. And I don't think anyone is quite as good at making 'flaws' (e.g. shots wildly out of focus, accidental flash) look completely purposeful."

John Goldsmith / Waxy says:
"Texture. Colour. Shape.
Seanorr's photography reduces the three dimension world into a pleasing palette full of rich and vibrant colours, a study of textures and shapes, and places it carefully into two dimensions. With a dose of creative wit, his art pushes forth in a sometimes stark, but sometimes subtle, social commentary. All this, plus he's a vegetarian! Waxy gives four stars.

"senor in spanish means mister or sir. i speak spanish so i know. however ...
sean orr speaks in images. he shows us the world around him through a unique perspective, full of wonder. certainly he, himself is a unique wonder amongst all the art riff-raff of vancuover town and beyond. his images speak to me. this is senor sean orr.
