Despite it missing the fire of his first record, it's a worthy piece of work.
-
Pete Yorn’s songs sound so damn good, it’s easy to assume they’re not smart.
-
Nightcrawler is the remedy to the collective uncertainty cast by Day I Forgot’s giant shadow of mediocrity: it’s a “solid record” that highlights Yorn’s potential as a songwriter and craftsman, underplays many of his weaknesses, and firmly situates him within the category of Rock Troubadours Who Are Still Worth Paying Attention To.

Entertainment WeeklyYorn and his lazy-day delivery... manage to hop between dance pop and lovely synth ballads with surprising ease. [8 Sep 2006, p.159]
-
MagnetHe pushes himself into unfamiliar, often sonically jarring new terrain. [#73, p.112]
-
Paste MagazineMore daring and challenging than anything he's done up to now. [Sep 2006, p.75]

The harmonies are more sophisticated, the sounds more complex, the music more fully realized.
-
SpinThe album's guitar- and keyboard-heavy production obscures some of his folky Britpop melodies, but it shows off his Bruuuce heart in a big way. [Oct 2006, p.105]
-
As with his debut, Yorn gets the highlights out of the way by the halfway mark. The rest is a bit of a coast, though it's a pleasant bit of coasting.
