    Reveals Yo La Tengo's understanding of stasis without stagnation.

    Summer Sun is so mellow and pretty that it feels uncharitable to call it one of their weakest albums in recent memory; many bands would kill to make music this accomplished.

    A set of busy beautiful whispers, 62 minutes of exquisite suspended animation. [Apr 2003, p.87]
