    As predictable as rain in February. [Mar 2002, p.123]
  2. Unfortunately, Become You lacks both the strummy, folk bombast of vintage Indigo Girls (1987's Strange Fire) and the engaging musicality that has made their last few albums worth spinning.

    Musically they offer nothing that hasn't been heard in every coed dorm via their 1989 hit "Closer to Fine." [Apr/May 2002]
  4. Become You tends to err on the side of blandness, lacking a knockout single or any newsworthy experimentation. But it's also Indigo Girls' first album in ages to pass by without a head-slapping clunker or didactic, finger-wagging screed to weigh it down.

    The Onion review is dead on. It's a solid enough CD, but the best thing you can say about it is that there aren't any clunkers. The Onion review is dead on.
