Jan 10, 2011Altogether, Acoustic Sessions just lacks a lot of emotional depth, ditching conflict and challenge for sap. Shame.
-
Dec 22, 2010Too often, though, the metronomic guitar-plucking and rainy-day harmonies give the tunes an interchangeable, mid-tempo somberness, which inevitably turns boring.

Nov 18, 2010Recorded in the couple's home studio, this set of duets by Lennon and his model girlfriend, Charlotte Kemp Muhl, recalls other forebears too, such as the damaged beauty of Elliott Smith. But the songs have a sunny, psychedelic side.

Nov 18, 2010It's not awful. But while Acoustic Sessions carries the hush of a whispered secret, it divulges little beyond the fact of its stylish presence.

Nov 18, 2010All in all, Acoustic Sessions is pleasant but not entirely memorable.

UncutDec 20, 2010It's a pleasant enough listen, but the feeling of overwhelming pointlessness is hard to shake. [Dec 2010, p.98]

Q MagazineDec 20, 2010It turns out to be a bit of an understated charmer. [Dec 2010, p.114]

Under The RadarNov 18, 2010Lennon and Kemp Muhl could make singing the phone book exquisite, with voices as sweet and perfectly matched as theirs. If there's one downside here, it's that the all-acoustic album is somewhat one-sided. [Fall 2010, p.60]
