"[T]here's perhaps nothing prettier than the steel drum-driven 'On The Town Square'....COMICOPERA is a masterpiece..."
"A superb album, in which Wyatt gathers all of his strengths...the personal and the political, the aesthetic and the ethical are brought together as only he can."
Ranked #1 in The Wire's "Top Ten Records of the Year 2007" -- "Even by Wyatt's standards of honest, self-examining songwriting, COMICOPERA was a proper gut-spiller."
4 stars out of 5 -- "Wyatt is an earnest vocalist who maintains the thread of improvisation and playful melody in his performances."
