    Bootlegs may not be essential Sondre Lerche, but it's a thrilling document of his live set and a reminder that he's not just a brilliant songwriter, but a rocker too.

    The discrepancy on Bootlegs between studious songcraft and rambunctious execution occasionally sounds distractingly self-conscious, but Lerche still sounds better here for sounding so unguarded and loose.

    Bootlegs provides a capsule overview of Lerche's work and a sense of which material from his seven albums he feels might best represent him in a live setting. [Aug/Sep 2012, p.112]

    It sounds like a fun, energetic performance but it downplays his sophisticated charms. [#91, p.56]
