  1. PopMatters
    90
    This is another great Low record: weighty and airy, compelling and quiet, eminently beautiful.
  2. Delusions of Adequacy
    90
    You still get the beautiful vocal combination of Sparhawk and Parker and the traditional less-is-more approach Low perfected several albums ago. Yet now you get a band that doesn't want to get stuck in the realm of slow-core, trying new things, redefining themselves. And it works beautifully on what is, undoubtedly, a triumph of an album.
  3. Playlouder
    60
    Much of 'Trust' dallies down the dark end of the street, where graceful Velvet Undergroundisms lounge around sharing tabs with gentle folk implosions.
