Mixed or average reviews - based on 8 Critics What's this?

  • Summary: The fourth album for the California-born artist features solo piano pieces.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 3 out of 8
  2. Negative: 1 out of 8
  1. Some of 55 Cadillac swells with too much melodrama ('Seeing The Car' sounds a little too West Wing for its own good), but the whole of it is impressive: a curio that makes a good case for sticking around.
  2. While the album concept may be flawed in execution this daring approach to composing and recording has resulted in an record which, regardless of its indulgences, is at least an intriguing listen and one which rewards patience with some moments of sublime ear candy.
  3. 55 Cadillac is a vanity project from a man who might never have seemed deep enough to warrant such a thing.
