  1. Alone will stand as an idiosyncratic gem in his catalog, showcasing him at his eccentric best.
  2. Alone is quirky, but also an intriguing glimpse into one artist's creative process.
  3. If nothing else, Alone reminds us that a lot of those over-ambitious, silly-on-paper ideas often blossomed in Cuomo's hands, and there was more to Weezer in their early days than just crisp power-pop and cute videos.

    Some are endearingly autistic... And some are sublimely idiculous. [Mar 2008, p.97]
  5. For a collection of lo-fi home demos, Rivers Cuomo's Alone, in its better moments, sure does sound at times like a return to form.

    Many emotions clearly still linger, but as a songwriter, he seems to lack the desire that he once had to simply be sincere. [Feb 2008, p.95]
  7. White people shouldn’t try to be funky.
