  1. 9.0 |   Uncut

    An album of great depth and richness, Sukierae finds Tweedy at his most dignified, nothing short of the whole love

  2. 8.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Sukierae’s the kind of a record where almost every listen provides different favourite moments. That has to be a very good indicator of its overall merits

  3. 8.3 |   A.V. Club

    Jeff Tweedy remains an astonishingly talented craftsman, and Spencer is a welcome addition to the family business

  4. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    Sukierae’s gently understated songs hover about over the course of repeated listens and demand attention in subtle, yet meaningful ways

  5. 8.0 |   Paste Magazine

    A hell of a bonding experience. That it resulted in such a fine album is just a bonus

  6. 8.0 |   FasterLouder

    Sukierae confirms Jeff Tweedy’s standing as a songwriter and musician with a mesmerising ability to imbue his songs with understated emotion and free-spirited musicality

  7. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    In Wilco’s left-field adventures, his songs are the platform. Here they are everything
    Read Review

  8. 8.0 |   NME

    There are sparks of new wave brightness and Beatles lustre, ensuring an album about uncertainty and dejection remains beautiful throughout

  9. 8.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Another tour de force from a guy who's made a few

  10. 8.0 |   The Observer

    At 20 tracks and 71 minutes, it’s perhaps a little long, but until the next Wilco album comes along, this will do just fine
    Read Review

  11. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    Sukierae is a distinctive work, and it gradually reveals itself to be enthralling

  12. 8.0 |   Evening Standard

    The first half of Sukirae sounds much like a Wilco LP... The second 10 songs are much more reflective
    Read Review

  13. 8.0 |   Exclaim

    Even if, at 72 minutes, it overstays its welcome a bit, there's no denying the vital talent on display at every turn
    Read Review

  14. 7.5 |   Consequence Of Sound

    While it can sound a little old hat at times, Jeff and Spencer Tweedy sprinkle Sukierae with some of the most personal songs Jeff has written to date
    Read Review

  15. 7.5 |   Under The Radar

    Listened to in short bursts, or perhaps sitting on a porch while the autumn sun sets, Sukierae shines as Jeff Tweedy's best work in years, and a masterclass in his characteristic songwriting
    Read Review

  16. 7.3 |   Pitchfork

    Only Jeff and Spencer can comprehend the full implications of these songs; the rest of us can grasp them only generally. Perhaps, given the story behind the album, that’s exactly what they intended
    Read Review

  17. 7.0 |   Slant Magazine

    It speaks to Tweedy's skill and experience as a songwriter that what is essentially the aural equivalent of him spending 72 minutes of quiet time with his family doesn't get boring sooner
    Read Review

  18. 6.0 |   Clash

    Clocking in at almost 72 minutes, ‘Sukierae’ is a bloated, if lulling, listen
    Read Review

  19. 6.0 |   Q

    Full of catchy songs, played with experimental sonic textures in reliably tasteful arrangements. Print edition only

  20. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Quality control on Sukierae sometimes sags amid the fecundity. Print edition only

  21. 5.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Sukierae ultimately reminds us what makes an artist of any stripe essential, and that’s - 'drumroll' - quality control
