The Word On... Wilco, Wilco (the album)

"Could be described as Wilco in meat-and-potatoes rock'n'roll mode ... But structurally, the album is cleanly cleaved between the sing-along Wilco and the freeform Wilco. When the former begins to overcome the latter, the album suffers." - Noel Murray, avclub.com

"An album that rounds out a solid trifecta following 'Foxtrot'. No, it doesn't have the ambition of 'Foxtrot' or the bombast of 1996's 'Being There', but it's a beautiful collection of songs. 'One Wing' is one of the better songs frontman Jeff Tweedy has penned in some time." - huffingtonpost.com

"'Wilco (the Album)' is a retrospective of the band's progress to this point. It's been an exciting evolution as the band has changed and grown, but the album leaves one important question unanswered: Where does Wilco go next?'" - Eric R Danton, blogs.courant.com

"For a band whose reputation was built on being sonic pioneers, this can only be perceived as something of a letdown. A 'solid' or 'sturdy' album – which is certainly what 'Wilco (The Album)' is – would be acceptable from many bands, but not Wilco." - popmatters.com
