AndyWApr 10, 2006amazing songwriting...

DanHApr 4, 2006A mature and cohesive work, even if it drags in a couple places. His third best album after "Diamonds" and "Fight for your Mind", and worth a buy for any music lover, if not as well for the inventive box packaging.

JoelLJun 1, 2006Ben Harper's songwriting skills, (and i'm talking about musically) have impressed me once again. I, being a musician, (and a horrible lyric writer), find the music in this cd to be outstanding.

[Anonymous]Mar 29, 2006This album is a feat in itself. Harper has tuned in to something profound in the last two years. Although still not as diverse as Diamonds On the Inside 'Gun' delivers a sound truley unique to the music world.

JohnHMar 22, 2006Not as memorable as other Ben Harper albums, but still tops quite a few albums, at worst.

TomCMay 28, 2006I've been a fan of Ben Harper for a long time now, but I have to admit that I'm getting a little bit bored with him. His music doesn't seem to be stretching or changing, and it's like he ran out of inspiration a few albums ago. I hope he reinvents himself somewhere along the line, or he's going to regress into being a fun live show, and nothing more.

MikeAJul 31, 2006Harper has his downfalls. But critics are a waste of trees in the music business as music is purely opinion. I love Ben Harper because i love his different sounds, i love his heroes and the fact that his music isn't critcally accepted commercialised crap that fills the music industry theses days.

To be sure, the quiet side is the more powerful.

The whole deal threatens to take off occasionally, but in the end, it doesn't rise beyond meandering.

Entertainment WeeklyIt's occasionally a bit too easy to play spot-the-influences with Harper's stuff... but his unabashed, unaffected nostalgia is more charming than irritating. [24 Mar 2006, p.69]
