Rolling Stone
1998- One campy indulgence, one masterpiece: That’s the general pattern on the bumpy Days Like This. There are moments of genius followed by lavish displays of questionable taste, sometimes within the same song.

If there is any difference from earlier works, it is one of degree: Days Like This is typically introspective and given over to spiritual, psychological, and romantic concerns, but its songs are unusually straightforward.

Los Angeles Times
1995- Little here distinguishes itself from the blues-jazz-rock hybrids of his last dozen or so albums. And where he used to transform the mundane into magic, these musings are merely, well, mundane. No epiphanies, no revelations, no point.

Music Box Magazine
1996- The latest release from Van Morrison is really only for his true fans. It's enjoyable, but it doesn't seem as inspired as his last few albums. Morrison seems to be in a rut with a formulaic approach to songwriting, and only one of the tunes contained on Days Like This seems to really go anywhere.

Not a major work in his catalog; a smooth sounding album with some very nice songs.
