DianaSSep 15, 2005I think this is Shawn's best cd yet, and I love them all! A while back I lost my cd case and my entire library of cd's. Shawn's cd's were the first ones I sought to replace. Keep up the good work Shawn.

JarmilaKMay 19, 2005My goodness, this album is very very very good just like all the others he has made. He really is the best according to me. I can't stop listening to this cd. I'm addicted to it!

VivianV.Mar 22, 2002I haven't stopped listening to this album since I got it 3 months ago- I know every note in every song, and I never tire of it. It's an incredible production. I rank Shawn Mullins right up there with Little Feat and Jimi Jamison of Survivor- sheer brilliance.This album has prompted me to purchase 'Soul's Core', which is equally incredible.

JasonM.Dec 18, 2001One of the best albums I've owned. A leap of faith from one good song on the radio. A touch of the South and truw enjoyment of making music. Not a bad guy.

Beneath the Velvet Sun is the uneven work of a talented artist who doesn't seem to trust the idiosyncratic approach that brought him to national attention enough to really let himself go. You can hardly blame him for trying to play it safe, given his one-hit wonder status, but the album's very bow to commercialism may keep it from being the hit it might have been.

Entertainment WeeklyIt's Richard Marx filtered through Beck. [10/27/2000, p.121]

Checkout.comSun's production is disappointingly safe, walking down a very predictable, somewhat dated road, instead of machete-chopping a path of its own.... [Its] most dazzling moments are its most straightforward -- the ones where Mullins strips away his affectations and flashes naked emotion.
