Mike Ragogna on "Wilco (The Album)"

"The songs are laden with fat, beefy hooks although there isn't the usual amount of boundary pushing here. On the other hand, can't these fellers record some guilty pleasures now and then, like the sublime 'One Wing' with Cline playing a restrained koo-koo in the last minute or so? There's also 'You And I,' a coo-y duet with pop pixie Feist that's the more than obvious hit. … Then again, there's another potential hit in 'You Never Know' with its Harrison guitar-ish licks and big vocal chorus on '...I don't caaaaaaaare anymore' that takes the listener back to Cracker Box Palace. No, the influences don't stop there: 'Country Disappeared' has enough of the late Chris Bell's phrasings to get you a little misty for 'Look Up' or 'I Am The Cosmos'; 'I'll Fight' has some great oldies swipes, specifically, from The Zombies' 'Tell Her No'; the personal read on "Solitaire," with its doubled vocals and acoustic atmospherics, is almost as charming as 'You And I,' though it's a bit more sullen; and if one needs a fun, happy summer sing-a-long that will have you bummed out when you realize it's about the exact opposite thing the music infers, then 'Sunny Feeling' is the song for you" ("New Tunes on Monday," Huffington Post, 6/22/09).
