Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - 11/25/99, p.98
3.5 stars out of 5 - "...a couple of the best things they've ever done....[Adam] Duritz rises to the occasion of a stellar arrangement featuring discursive strings, spacey synths and river-deep basses..."
Spin - 12/99, p.222
6 out of 10 - "...strikes the same oddly compelling, melancholy chord as its predecessors - a crafty, referential rock that should play well to licensed psychotherapists and VH1 viewers alike....[DESERT LIFE affirms] that Counting Crows are genuinely affecting songwriters..."
Q - 12/99, pp.129-30
4 stars out of 5 - "...pushes [songwriter, Adam] Duritz to the fore, enhancing his narrative flair on the lengthy Mrs.Potter's Lullaby and the string-drenched 'All My Friends'..."
CMJ - 11/8/99, p.27
"...whether the band is working out an up-tempo number or looking deep into itself on ballads, each track on THIS DESERT LIFE is compelling, powerful and poetic."
Mojo (Publisher) - 12/99, p.125
"...a sandbank of relentless, parochial misery....amiable...yet, generates a worrying, overwhelming sadness..."
