    Enya es muy buena compositora, pero su discografía y estilo son muy repetitivos, hasta este disco la consideraba buena unicamente por Only Time, de ahí en adelante se volvió obsoleta.

    Enya's background music...nothing compelling enough to real the listner in. She forever sounds the same and the montone of her music and voice leaves the listener sleeping.

    Enya keeps the comfort factor high with several compositions that are arguably descendants of her 1989 pop hit, "Orinoco Flow." She steps outside of that zone on the first single, "Only Time," an elegant effort that is wrapped in soothing harmonics fondly reminiscent of vintage Beach Boys tunes...

    Self-seriousness and artistic water-treading aside, there's nothing wrong with A Day Without Rain. It's just that few households need more than an hour or so of Enya music, and Shepherd Moons and Watermark serve that purpose far more effectively.

    Unless you're bound in an herbal body wrap, there's simply no acceptable reason to listen to this New Age nonsense. [11/24/2000, p.82]
