Reviews"...This 'sounds' good....stripped-down, with a lot of guitar, bass and drums and a very judicious use of cellos, tenor saxes and an electric violin....Reed rarely sounds less than sincere...", 4 Out of 5-"...It's Good....It Says an Awful Lot. More, in Fact, than Lou's Said in 10 Years.", "...It's slick....It is definitely a record for Lou Reed fans. If you're a happy regular shopper at Lou's Boutique, this one'll fit nicely on the shelf alongside all the others...", 7 out of 10 - "...Full of viciousness and confusion, another wrathful passage from the greatest-living curmudgeon in rock. Bless him.", Included in Rolling Stone's "Top 50 Albums of 2000"., "...Indispensable for...the album's monstrous 18 minute masterpiece, 'Like A Possum', alone....the album has other strong moments as well...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...His strongest music ever....impressive. Dominated emotionally by dark songs about extreme sex and relationships gone sour....a complex, musically gorgeous synthesis of the obsessions that powered BERLIN and his great marriage albums of the early '80s..."
