Rolling Stone (8/10/95, p.60) - "...Newman's drawling, bluesy vocals cut against the lush conventionality of the settings like a squirt of lemon juice in milk....One of the most deliciously unsettling albums ever made."Q (4/00, p.112) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Cynical, ironic and venomous, it sets the stage for 30 years of nasty songs..."Mojo (Publisher) (7/95, p.113) - "...Everything that's great about Randy Newman can be found [here]...the benign condescension towards Middle America ('The Beehive State'), the effortlessly modulated melancholy ('Living Without You')...and the elaborate orchestrations betraying the influence of his movie-scoring uncles..."NME (Magazine) (2/14/00, p.42) - 7 out of 10 - "...an oddball hybrid of burlesque show tunes and sardonic singer-songwriting....makes for edifying listening..."17.61894

Q (7/93, p.111) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...An LP that's as wicked a blend of poignancy and pungency as any other in his catalogue. In the songs upon it he draws in fine lines a sardonic tableau...Yet compassion is Newman's signal virtue, often so well disguised as to be entirely overlooked..."Mojo (Publisher) (3/00, p.116) - "...plaintive piano'n'voice gems amongst stodgy LA rock...while his occasional orchestral writing remains beautiful..."12.61075

JazzTimes (p.123) - "CITYSCAPE proves that Newman hasn't lost much of his fastball. He's still a solid, straight-forward improviser, heavy on blues feeling and refreshingly light on thrills."10.14144

Q (9/00, p.127) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...His undisputed eclectic classic..."NME (Magazine) (9/23/00, p.35) - 8 out of 10 - "...He sang the bittersweet songs of his unknown friend Randy Newman...a fine release..."10.12382

Q (p.125) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "Newman carved out an idiosyncratic niche rooted in biting satire and traditional pop structures."Mojo (Publisher) (3/00, p.116) - "...replaced the orchestra with an Americana rock rhythm section...and the more conventional presentation found Newman a college audience attuned to his wry singularity..."NME (Magazine) (2/14/00, p.42) - 6 out of 10 - "...marked the beginning of his ascent to the rock elite when 'Mama Told Me Not To Come' became a massive hit when covered by Three Dog Night..."10.11778

Down Beat (p.58) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Newman's effortless yet sparring blowing has the searching sonority of Sonny Stitt."JazzTimes (p.122) - "On 'Naima,' which rides on an inviting drum groove, he shows that you don't have to imitate Coltrane to score spiritually on one of his tunes."10.10621
$13.33
Down Beat (p.61) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "THE BLESSING is a very good final album from one of jazz's legends, one whose depth and meaning increase with each listen."JazzTimes (p.66) - "The happiest is 'Romantic Night,' with its effervescent melody line and lightly skipping cadence. Newman's sparse phrasing here creates eloquent spaces of silence..."10.10621

Entertainment Weekly (10/27/95, pp.94-95) - "...Newman obviously favors the Devil, and besides playing him, he gets most of the New Orleans shuffles. Eat your soul out, Andrew Lloyd Webber." - Rating: AUncut (6/03, p.113) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...There's no denying the quality and bite of the songwriting on display here..."Musician (11/95, p.87) - "...a bit of a mess...but a likeable one....a very modern FAUST--the Devil is kind of personable, Faust is a schmuck, and God just wants to have fun."New York Times (Publisher) (1/6/96, p.C16) - Included in Stephen Holden's list of the Top 10 Albums of `95 - "...includes his most corrosively funny songs in more than two decades..."10.07979
