    The brooding Last Night On Earth places Ranaldo in a seductively meditative setting. [Dec 2013, p.88]

    The moments of clarity indicate a record that yearns for change.

    Last Night On Earth is filled with guitar licks that manage to sound ferocious and friendly at the same time, marrying a slightly avant-garde persuasion and tight focused songwriting with something instantly warming.

    The evolving identities of Lee Ranaldo might be a valiant pursuit, but they have made for a problematic tone on Last Night on Earth.

    Ranaldo and his band are unparalleled musicians but have fallen prey to a disaster that normally besets younger bands--a great sound and nothing said.

    Last Night on Earth too often finds Ranaldo relying on familiar arrangements as a crutch more than a creative tool.

    It's just a little underwhelming. [Nov 2013, p.115]
