buzzApr 11, 2003I think I own all of David Gray's CDs, expert, nooooo. The lyrics as always set him apart from the rest. His voice, wonderful, but, where is your accent that I have always loved to hear. I like his words, his music, and the sound. Even if this one isn't my favourite David Gray CD, David Gray is still my favourite singer song writer.

SteveANov 27, 2002Outstanding album and up there with White Ladder. Gray has the knack of getting his atmospheric music and haunting melodies under your skin.

Feb 26, 2022My favorite album of his and the one I have the deepest connection with and one which I return to again and again and sing along with on every song. I love White Ladder too but this one edges out that one imo. I knew from the first listen too.

VibeComes off likea rave-era update of Van Morrison's blue-eyed soul. [Feb 2003, p.138]

A New Day at Midnight is not White Ladder part 2, but it does bear certain similarities, namely emotional, beautiful music matched with equally beautiful lyrics, and, of course David Gray's unmistakable voice.

BlenderThe album merely washes pleasantly past, tickling the ear and delivering a few hummable refrains. There's nothing here to lift listeners the way White Ladder did. [#12, p.143]
