Salon -
Stephanie Zacharek's review: "All edges and elbows, always easy to listen
to, but not necessarily easy to come to terms with."
The
Onion A.V. Club: Lost and Found - Nathan Rabin's review: "...A marvel of
tasteful bombast, adding touches of mournful slide guitar and occasional
strings, but always keeping the focus on Mann's voice and evocative lyrics."
Knot Magazine: Aimee Mann
Proves Me Wrong - Tim Grierson's favorable review: "... has the
late-night vibe of sleepless hours riddled with anxiety, asking questions
but getting only silence in response. It's emotional and direct in a way
she's rarely attempted before." (November 10, 2002)
Pitchfork Media - Chris Dahlen's review, rating of 7.6: "...it's hard to
fault Mann for repeating a formula that works this well, or for making a
record this focused." (August 26, 2002)
Washington Post: Aimee Mann Scores With Bleak 'Space' - Joshua Klein's
review: "It's no pick-me-up, but an effort like 'Lost in Space' is precisely
the type of project that creative liberty affords." (August 14, 2002)
Ink Blot Magazine - Aimee Mann: Whatever - Paul Barras' review: "...the
songs are beautiful and heartfelt chapters of one artist's weary journey
through life." Links to related artists and albums.
RollingStone.com - Kara Manning's review: "'Whatever' is hardly a series
of weepy regrets: Mann's aggravated angst is more like an emotional boot
camp. She prefers verbal combat to self-pity." 3 stars.
Armchair DJ - Whatever - Brian Handler's review: "The breakup songs and
pop stylings may suck you in initially, but it's the depth and breadth of
the songwriting that will keep your attention focused." (April 28,
2000)
CMJ New
Music Report - Steve Ciabattoni's review: "Mann's first full-length
outing hasn't any hollow musical or emotional moments, its rousing pop
singles smartly balancing ballads of strong resolve, both revealing much
about the woman behind the voice." (February 19, 1996)
