Innovative and gorgeous, equally recalling Dionne Warwick-era Bacharach and contemporary ambient pop.

Sonicnet

A strong rebound that finds lang supported by the sleek, techno-lite production of Damian leGassick?

Mojo

The production... is appropriately lush and celebratory, brimming over with strings, synthesizers and layered, sensuous vocals. [July 2000, p.111]

Summer's tunes have the sweetness and light of Burt Bacharach's finest.

Billboard

A glorious blend of surf-pop and Brazilian rhythms?

Salon.com

The songs on "Invincible Summer," nearly all of them written by lang and various partners, aren't up to the standard of those on "Drag".... But the lyrics finally don't matter much because the record holds together as a mood piece.

Rolling Stone

The music is often quick-paced fluff with the retro exactness, and the soul, of a Pottery Barn sofa. But for the most part, lang's lighter musical tack encourages her to retire the galloping self-regard that can cancel the attractiveness of her voice.

All Music Guide

If there is a fault to this album, it is that it is too smooth; while the listener is surfing these waves of happiness and cushiony pop, an occasional desire for edges and bones surfaces.

Wall of Sound

What is meant to sound languid and trippy instead comes across as overwrought and pretentious?

Q Magazine

11 new songs of singularly cloying contentment; no soaring highs, no debilitating lows, just minor pop platitudes with hollow, echoing centres.

The Onion (A.V. Club)

Instantly forgettable... consistently tepid, devoid of personality, and characteristic of a considerable talent on auto-pilot.

Classic KD Lang, great production faultless voice, a proper Album to listen to - See her live if you can...

K. Katsenis gave it an 8:
While the lyrics of this album could be seen as somewhat "campy", the arrangement, in concert with Lang's superb phrasing and execution, make this album well worth listening to. Lang has an incredible voice, and it is showcased here. The album gives the impression that Lang's performance was not a "personal best" for her, but because she is so talented, Invinvible Summer gets away with it.
