  1. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Enjoy track nine, eight seconds of Vedder getting it wrong and snorting, "Fahkah". Print edition only

  2. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    It’s a musical triumph – a cheeky, audacious move from an unpredictable talent

  3. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    An album brimming with integrity and enthusiasm and, most importantly, it boasts great tunes
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    A lively and enjoyable LP that easily warms the cockles
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    Not every musician could pick up a ukulele, write a handful of songs and turn it into an album worth listening to, but Vedder manages this feat in a technical sense and in a conceptual sense

  6. 7.0 |   Spin

    Sweetly evanescent
    Read Review

  7. 7.0 |   No Ripcord

    Probably not the best introductory album to showcase Vedder’s dynamic abilities as a singer and songwriter of unimaginable depths
    Read Review

  8. 6.7 |   A.V. Club

    Ukulele Songs finds Vedder in a good place—content but not satisfied, comfortable with his history, but not confined by it
    Read Review

  9. 6.4 |   Pitchfork

    34 minutes is a perilously long time for most to to spend alone with just Eddie Vedder, a ukulele, and his feelings for company
    Read Review

  10. 6.0 |   Rave Magazine

    This is an album to enjoy with a beer by the ocean, it’s simple Sunday music that doesn’t try to be more than it is
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   The Scotsman

    His own songs tend to stark rootsy angst
    Read Review

  12. 6.0 |   The Observer

    It's unlikely to appeal to the unconverted, but the likes of "Satellite" and "Longing to Belong" have genuine charm
    Read Review

  13. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Eddie Vedder's second solo album isn't bad, but it is perplexing. Print edition only

  14. 6.0 |   A.V. Club

    Vedder has created an album which is gently tempered, timelessly quaint, and at its core, rather lovely

  15. 6.0 |   Spin

    If you've ever fantasized about Vedder singing you, or your kids, to sleep, consider your wish fulfilled
    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   Q

    Most Pearl Jam fans will probably find its lack of punch or focus baffling. Print edition only

  17. 5.0 |   FasterLouder

    Eddie Vedder deserves credit for trying something new, but his experiment doesn’t always pay off and in the end he seems to have enjoyed making this more than you will enjoy listening to it
    Read Review

  18. 5.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    You probably won’t need this given all the Pearl Jam-related hoopla out there this year. But for Vedder enthusiasts, well, the cover’s pretty, right?

  19. 3.0 |   Slant Magazine

    These songs pack all of the gruff, dour banality of late-career Pearl Jam—and are just as inessential as anything else the band has released over the last decade
