    Sweetheart of the Sun is something special, easily the second best album of their career.

    A beautifully sustained salute to 1960s-inspired pop. [30 Sep 2011, p.74]

    Sweetheart of the Sun is a remarkably good record that comes long after anyone may have expected the Bangles to do anything much at all.

    It's a spare and occasionally stiff album that has more to do with, say, the Indigo Girls than the 1960s bands the Bangles grew up worshiping.

    While it may not be as perfect a pop album as All Over the Place or Different Light, the Bangles get an awful lot right on Sweetheart of the Sun.
