-
All the Roadrunning--while beautiful--seems somehow underwhelming, and without a true centerpiece.
-
While over-produced and quite sentimental, this is a very sweet record.
-
It proves a warm, agreeable affair, though likely to disappoint anyone expecting creative sparks.
-
An elegant, sometimes sleepy collection.
-
UncutAll The Roadrunning isn't quite the success they would have hoped. The problem, perversely enough, lies in the disparity of voices. [May 2006, p.126]
-
Q MagazineIt's got some fine, graceful tunes. [May 2006, p.128]
-
BlenderPlaying Coke to Knopfler's bourbon on some decent songs, [Harris] challenges his guitar to a beauty contest; it's a draw. [Jun 2006, p.140]
-
MojoBelle Starr and... Red Staggerwing finds [Knopfler] reaching for a goodtime clambake feel that ends up sounding kinda grating and twee. [Jun 2006, p.98]
-
Although Harris does her best with some tasteful harmonies to save the session from the usual Knopfler over-egging, there's only so much she can do.
