    Matt Pond PA shows it can rock out tastefully. [Fall 2007, p.102]
  2. With each new release, its sound becomes more polished, and Last Light finds a groove between a radio-ready opus and an experimental jumble.
  3. Last Light is an altogether different album from what we've heard before, as Matt Pond has rarely put himself in such close contact with his idols. Nevertheless, it's a leap forward for an artist who rarely, if ever, heads in the wrong direction.
  4. Uncut
    60
    Like the five LPs preceding it, Last Light is dominated by autumnal mood pieces--but it rocks harder, making for a pleasing contrast with Pond's poignant lyrics and vocals.
  5. Alternative Press
    50
    There's very little here to grab the listener. [Nov 2007, p.162]
  6. The formula seems to be consistent throughout. Pond’s songwriting prowess is repeatedly outdone by his inexcusable execution.
  7. Yet another standardized LP of glorified Dave Matthews tunes.
