Entertainment Weekly[A] simply dreamy album. [20 Oct 2006, p.83]
-
Dreamt for Light Years proves less targeted than 2001's It's a Wonderful Life, but this is a check in the plus column: Linkous sounds best when he's warring with structure and sound, when his songs sound unsettled.
-
New Musical Express (NME)Superb stuff. [23 Sep 2006, p.33]
-
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.
-
Ultimately, Dreamt will reward those who spend time with it, and Sparklehorse fans won't be disappointed.
-
While passages are lovely, the work as a whole struggles to hold the attention.

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