    Space Ducks is a must have for fans, and a superb introduction for those unfamiliar with his work.

    Even if you take a rain check on that multimedia trip [interactive comic book], there's still much to enjoy. [May 2013, p.94]

    Along with Johnston's clanging, winningly direct originals, there are contributions from fellow alt-rock comrades such as Eleanor Friedberger and, perhaps more surprisingly, Jake Bugg. [May 2013, p.104]

    Johnston's own songs, though jauntily paced, come with familiar themes of isolation, despair and the cruelty of love. [May 2013, p.73]

    With Ducks, Johnston and cohorts craft a soundtrack that works as a cohesive album.

    Despite the surreal subject matter Johnston's soundtrack for his own comic book is romantic and deeply human.
  7. 80
    Johnston has made and most importantly shared a very good record here, one that stands as a reminder of his immense talent, of his longevity, of his kindness in spreading the benefit of his skill among younger, adoring fan-bands and yes, if you must, his power to overcome those much discussed mental problems.
