90A surreal, tender, revealing record. [Nov 2005, p.104]
-
A uniquely powerful and moving set of songs.
-
[It] turns out to be a proper Silver Jews rock album, which is to say it has the feel of a drunk snapping into his second wind long enough to belt out a few.
-
90Berman's most accomplished album.
-
90A record that is wholly satisfying: not too overwrought and never self-assuredly slick.
-

-
One of his strongest and most focused albums to date.
-
86Tanglewood Numbers probably won't win many new fans, but it will make the cult of David grow fonder. [#17, p.104]
-
David Berman joins a pickup band that includes his close personal friend Stephen Malkmus to explore realms of vocal inexpressiveness undreamt by Stephin Merritt or the Handsome Family.
-
