    A Sentimental Education’s grab-bag of exquisite curios upholds a flair for the art of the cover that previously saw songs from Bonnie And Clyde to Neon Lights Lunafied, to echo the title of the band’s own 2006 covers release.

    While some fans may bemoan the lack of original material, this is too wonderful of a listen for such complaints. [Jul - Sep 2017, p.58]

    As is the case with much of A Sentimental Education, both of those songs [Bob Dylan's "Most of the Time" and Mercury Rev's "Car Wash Hair"] find Luna deftly straddling the line between deep reverence and inspired reclamation, a perfect balance that renders each track a new addition to the band's own storied oeuvre.

    It doesn’t hurt that every song given the Luna treatment--mellow, reverb-y guitars, Dean Wareham’s winning deadpan vocals--pretty much becomes a Luna song.

    The 10 tunes evoke nothing but a good, unusually brisk-feeling and '70s-like Luna record. [No. 147, p.58]

    The performances here stick too closely to the source material to offer anything truly exciting or gripping.
