CD Details

  • Released: August 24, 1998
  • Originally Released: 1998
  • Label: Dreamworks

Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - 9/3/98, pp.98-100
3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...his most adventurous music ever, opening up his acoustic flow with piano, horns, vocal overdubs, even a string section. Smith still has a love jones, and he's still a heartache looking for a place to happen..."
Spin - 1/99, p.91
Ranked #2 on Spin's list of "Top 20 Albums of '98."
Spin - 9/98, pp.180-182
8 (out of 10) - "...This is his happiest sounding record to date, and his saddest; haunted and trembling beneath its composed surface of chiming guitars and soothing electric piano..."
Entertainment Weekly - 9/4/98, p.82
"...As with his indie albums, XO wallows in sentiments and melodies so fragile, they should be individually bubbled-wrapped. Smith's world is one in which people continually search for emotional connections--only to lose or break them and then live with the regret..." - Rating: B
CMJ - 1/11/99, p.3
"...His major label debut, XO, ably shattered all expectations, displaying a level of melodic beauty and stark sophistication..."
