StewNov 7, 2005A very light hearted ride. Anastasios album is a branch in a new direction from his phish career. With songs that are more radio friendly theres no doubt that this album will bring many new fans.

JasperBNov 13, 2005Let's face it: Trey is not Phish. With that said, it is different than expected, almost dissappointing even. At first I absolutely hated it, then liked it, and now love it. You would appreciate it even more once seeing Trey perform the songs live.

SamKNov 9, 2005Very much a departure from traditional Trey style, Shine is a much more converntional, structured and polished construction. I like it very much, especially the guitarwork on "Wherever you may find it"

MikeJan 27, 2006First three songs are immediately catchy. The rest eventually grew on me. Different from Phish yet not unfamiliar. Not a bad song on the album. Great album overall.

BenNov 14, 2005It's not Phish, but compared to what else is out there, this was a pretty good album. Great lyrics, and catchy tunes.

BrooksHNov 3, 2005Departure from extended jams, for which he is noted for (with Phish). Clear focus on writing more concise catchy pop songs (average length of songs on the disc are around 4 mins). Trey also takes the reins on writing the lyrics with mixed results. Overall, solid musicianship and writing wins out, although this new directions will surely set-off some dies hard Phish fans.

Though not terrible, Trey Anastasio's latest is miles below what he's done before.
-
BillboardEasily the radio-friendliest set ever from the Phish camp.

Entertainment WeeklyAnastasio's crafted the loud-but-tasteful, radio-friendly songs Phish were never able to create. [4 Nov 2005, p.73]
