  1. PopMatters
    90
    Full of Light and Full of Fire is easily one of the best albums of the decade.
  2. Junkmedia
    80
    A beguiling blend of astute social commentary and first-rate music that rocks, weeps and testifies.
  3. Blender
    80
    Political without preaching, sexy in a bookish way, this record will keep you up talking with someone you'd like to kiss. [Dec 2005, p.149]

    While The Mendoza Line's lyrics may be full of light and full of fire, the music here is not.
