    An impeccable album that makes good on the promise he's shown in the past. [May 2004, p.102]

    Some of his lyrics can feel contrived, betraying a youth spent in recording studios.

    On My Way promises to be voted "Most likely to get lost in your collection and never thought about again."

    Again, I'm trying to keep myself from doing too many "10" reviews. This, however, is a classic. Through and Trough, for fans of Sha Sha it will take time to get used to. It's not as immediatly catchy or punchy or produced(y) but, it's ultimatly more rewarding.… Expand

    My brothers listened first, so automatically i didn't enjoy it. Though once a frienend entroduced me to On My Way, i instantly loved it! Then later I listened to Sha Sha, I still can't decide which is better! Keep it up Kweller! And think about going on tour again.… Collapse

    Amazing. Kweller produced something few people believed was possible, an album better than Sha-sha.

    No where as good as his last album, Sha Sha, but still an alright listen.
