MattR.Oct 4, 2006Probably more straightforward and accessible than any of the previous albums, but still a great record. A listen on headphones reveals multiple interesting layers.

TomBSep 30, 2006This album fuses together everything that is great about Good Morning Spider and It's a Wonderful Life. It's not radically different from either, but the familiar is welcome when it comes to a singular (and not especially prolific) talent like Linkous.

JPCostaSep 29, 2006Finally, after 5 years, Mark Linkous manages to release his materpiece. Never has a voice sounded so close to fade into black.

AliceRNov 4, 2006Great music - it is only now that I can appreciate why there was such a long wait!

madslDec 4, 2006My only problem with this latest effort from the very talented Mark Linkous, is the fact that no new ideas are brought to the fore despite the fact his last album was released half a decade ago! That is a mild criticism though when you get enraptured by a lovely tune like Shade and Honey anyway...

MichaelESep 26, 2006This is very, very impressing album that can easily be underestimated. Mark Linkous doesn´t give away his secrets quickly. I´m deeply impressed by the melange of sunny surfaces and deep melancolia. This is music for people who are attracted to David Lynch movies and deep listening!

[Anonymous]Sep 26, 2006Quite a disappointing step back from It's a Wonderful Life. Hope Linkous will make up for that sooner or later

ChrisSep 29, 2006Impressing is not a word btw. Anyway, this album is disappointing. Lulling melodies, lo-fi-ish production and frontal micd vocals a great album not make. I really miss the Good Morning Spider days.

KellyWDec 21, 2006Great album, but we've had Shade and Honey, Morning Hollow, Ghost in the Sky and Maxime (aka Dreamt for light years....) for years now. WTF?!

MojoMost of these 12 songs... fall within the wistful to enchanting range. [Oct 2006, p.96]

Paste MagazineOrnate but unremarkable headphone listening. [Oct 2006, p.80]

There are no earth-shattering changes to Linkous' studio-warped rock 'n' roll pastoralism. As there was nothing broken on previous Sparklehorse outings, there is little in need of fixing.
