A strong early contender for Record of the Year.
-
While the album retains some of the lo-fi insularity of his earlier four-track work, the full band backing makes Supper more of a living-room album than a back bedroom one.
-
Supper is a fine accomplishment, a record of sad grace and folky simplicity that outdoes its predecessors and hints at a very worthwhile future.
-
The WireCallaghan has served up an album that, interestingly for his fractured vocals and streaming lyrics, is unusually coherent. [#230, p.61]

Q MagazinePoignant and sincere, this is a Bill Callahan we could do with more of. [Jun 2003, p.104]
-
It is (Smog)'s most colorful, vigorous, and alive album to date.
-
UncutThe tentative pop entryism evident on albums like 1999's Knock Knock is largely absent here; instead we have his gruff baritone take us through an increasingly uninteresting outlook on love and life. [May 2003, p.108]
