-
Mr. Toussaint's florid yet precise New Orleans piano, the way he can make a horn section laugh or sigh, and the stubborn idealism and canny humor of his songs temper Mr. Costello's convoluted earnestness.
-
The River In Reverse is a dark, passionate work that channels its rage toward redemptive joy.
-
New Musical Express (NME)A good album, in a well-produced way, but it's not as good or as important as it thinks it is. [24 Jun 2006, p.43]
-
It's good to see this album released, but whether the meeting between Costello and Toussaint has produced anything of greater note that their individual achievements, I'm not convinced.
