    Unlike its predecessor, Day I Forgot falters noticeably in spots.
  2. AllMusic
    60
    Ultimately, Day I Forgot lacks the emotional poignancy and experimental sonic character present on every track of Musicforthemorningafter.
  3. PopMatters
    60
    The album is much more conservative than Yorn's debut, and in many ways more ordinary.
  5. E! Online

    Although he has sensibly cut back on the droning that defined his last disc's stand-out single "Strange Condition," this release shows few other signs of growth.

    He name-drops so many famous folks he's obviously banking on his connections. [Sep 2003, p.97]

    Unfortunately the record sports plenty of filler.
  8. Rolling Stone

    Apart from a voice that makes being bummed out sound almost sensuous, Yorn still hasn't developed a truly distinctive musical personality to go with his one-man-band studio skills.

    If you like Pete, you'll like the cd, its more upbeat but unfortunately with less differentiable songs.
