    There is very little here that makes any sort of meaningful connection. [Dec 2001, p.85]

    It's not quite as thrillingly risky as the Deftones' White Pony, but it deserves the collegiate adulation it will likely receive. [Oct/Nov 2001, p.107]

    Morning View's insurmountable flaw is that Incubus sell themselves as an Intelligent and Sensitive rock band, without actually appearing especially intelligent or sensitive.
  5. Rolling Stone

    The coolest thing about Incubus is the way they come front-and-center with their inner little girl.

  7. Village Voice (Consumer Guide)
    58
    Mediocre pop songs with pretensions.

It showcases the ability of each band member and the cohesive ability of the band as a whole. From beginning to end this album is orchestrated flawlessly in a perfect crescendo of energy and thought.
