    This album is full of what makes Jeff Tweedy one of the best singer-songwriters of the past 20 years. Unfortunately, it also includes lots input from an amateur drummer, aka Jeff's son. The kid could become good someday, and I hope he does, but right now he is too green to hang with dad and dad's pals. Sadly, too many of the tunes on "Sukierae" get bogged down by the weak drumming.

    Listened in short bursts, or perhaps sitting on a porch while the autumn sun sets, Sukierae shines as Jeff Tweedy's best work in years, and a masterclass in his characteristic songwriting. [Dec 2014, p.89]

    There are sparks of new wave brightness and Beatles lustre, ensuring an album about uncertainty and dejection remains beautiful throughout.

    As a whole, the album is charming, but deeply moving. The instrumentation is often simple, as are the lyrics, and the result is a rewarding, slow-building work of serious depth, and a long overdue solo debut for one of the genre’s finest songwriters.
