Stylus Magazine
It improves on Mutations with sparkling variation and a depth of emotion Beck seldom seems to achieve. ...more
Entertainment Weekly
With repeated listenings, the sluggish ditties transform into a beautiful, mournful hymn of love won and lost. ...more
Delusions of Adequacy
One of his finest efforts to date. ...more
The Onion (A.V. Club)

Drowned In Sound
