SarahNDec 4, 2003This CD, while derivating from Dave's usual style, was beautiful. Stay or Leave and Some Devil are two beautiful, haunting pieces that I will never grow tired of listening to.

StephenSep 28, 2005Wonderful album, a world of its own. Showcases Dave's individual identity and style more than his DMB records. Highly recommended.

chrisP.Oct 10, 2003Indulgent? Damn right. Dave has earned the right to indulge himself as much as he wants. It's also full of extremely personal writing, easy, loose arrangements, and subtle musicianship. Not DMB, but definitely DM.

ThomasOct 13, 2003Dave makes his first try at a solo album...and to put it bluntly, it rocks! Dave is back.

CrashOct 14, 2003Dave takes a stab at his own solo creativity and does a marvelous job. Trey and Tim as always add a unforgettable element to the sounds of Dave Matthews.

WickedRapunzelOct 21, 2003Dave lifts you ups and takes you down through the underground caverns of his soul. It's an amazing album that's lyrically superior to anything released in the past year.

ChristianDec 4, 2003This soulful journey within this beautifully dark treated landscape full of hypnotic rhythms and haunting lyrics lure you through this threaded sanctuary as one quietly drifts away. Nothing short of brilliant for those who understand the complexities of musical compositions...

Awards & Rankings
-
By far the best showcase for Dave Matthews' seductive, haunting and deep warble.
-
The end results are a bit unwieldy, perhaps, and not always successful, but it is interesting and certainly different than a Dave Matthews Band record.
-
Entertainment WeeklyThe Matthews Band's absence does leave a void, mainly because their instrumental acrobatics usually glossed over the flimsier songs written by their fearless leader. [3 Oct 2003, p.70]
