Rolling Stone (3/10/94, p.67) - "...suggests that the group's greatest strength wasn't writing or playing but arranging..."Q (2/94, p.109) - 5 Stars - Indispensable - "...Steely Dan is the closest pop has come to the acid wit of Wilde and Coward and Vidal...."Melody Maker (1/8/94, p.29) - "...Steely Dan were no more nihilistic than The Stooges. It's just that, instead of Rolling Stones riffs and Chuck Berry solos, Becker and Fagen used East Coast Jazz, Latin rhythms, saccharine harmonies and choruses worthy of Burt Bacharach or Hollywood musicals..."10.08307

Musician (7/93, p.93) - "...beyond the novelty of hearing lightning-fast jazz chord runs on a banjo, one is taken with the ambience of these recordings--with piano or dance band arrangements behind him, and the hiss of these 60-to-70-year-old 78s--and it's hard to imagine anyone not being charmed by his world..."8.541475

Q (9/96, p.139) - 3 Stars - Good - "...this fine Rykodisc re-issue from the early '60s has long been considered a classic of its kind, with every major five-string banjo style represented...and several minor ones...too....the virtuosity on display here is remarkable..."8.529579

Q (p.98) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Lyrically, he's wry, adult and questioning, most effectively in 'Past Belief', an epic saga of religious confusion."Uncut (p.75) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "He knows how to deploy just enough hooks to tweak the jaded ear, and ace producer Chuck Plotkin brings punch without clutter."CMJ (p.37) - "BREATHE is an updated version of his purer folk roots, proving his tales are still worth telling."No Depression (p.106) - "On BREATHE, he reins in his lively excesses to conduct some intensive searching. It's a nice departure....BREATHE strikes just the right balance between folkish austerity and studio smarts."8.004082

Entertainment Weekly (10/20/95, p.66) - "...Their 1993-94 resumption--a big-band revue documented in 11 familiar tracks here--may have been uncharacteristically concessive, but the smooth spite in their subversive neo-Babylonian bop still sounds as contemporary as today's headlines."- Rating: B+7.989392
