Dec 8, 2014The album is classy and appealing, and although it’s not particularly challenging, it’s still a lot more than just background music.
-
Dec 5, 2014This is an album that's holiday-ready: safe, inoffensive, pretty grandma music.
-
Dec 3, 2014Ultimately despite, or perhaps because of, its minor ambitions, Classics succeeds on its own terms.
-
Dec 2, 2014The surprisingly loungy results are unusually daring for these two.
-
Dec 2, 2014Losing something in translation is the potential downside of interpreting beloved standards, and while She & Him are lovingly faithful performers, Classics ends up as just pleasant background music.
-
Dec 22, 2014The problem with Classics, then, is that they call attention to the bleeding sincerity of that bygone era without being able to quite do it justice.

Dec 15, 2014‘Stay Awhile’ and renditions of The Righteous Brothers’ ‘Unchained Melody’ and the Burt Bacharach and Hal David-penned ‘This Girl’s In Love With You’ are stunning in isolation. A whole album of Deschanel’s wholesome, entertaining-the-troops voice and M Ward’s tasteful instrumentation is cloying.
-
Dec 8, 2014Throughout the album, there’s a sense they’re just playing around.
