Double Fantasy
Double Fantasy is a 1980 album released by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. It is the seventh and final studio album released by Lennon during his lifetime. The album was initially poorly received. However, following Lennon's murder three weeks after its release, it became a worldwide commercial success and went on to win the 1981 Album of the Year award at the 24th Annual Grammy Awards. - Wikipedia
Critic Reviews
Show All-
The Vinyl District
2014 - The real problem with Double Fantasy is that it’s one truly bad LP, and that’s not fantasy, but fact.
-
BBC
2010 - A far tougher record than is understood by those who have only heard the singles.
-
All Music
According to some reports, that perception was a bit of a fantasy, but sometimes the fantasy means more than the reality, and that's certainly the case here.
-
Classic Rock Review
2015 - The end result was an album of personally focused material with an underlying theme about a man and woman who found each other years into their relationship.
-
Popmatters
2010 - While it might seem sacrilegious to say it, John Lennon's last album wasn't the watershed it was supposed to be. In fact, it's really not very good.

Sputnik Music
2011 - Seriously, fuck you Yoko.
-
The Guardian
2013 - Double Fantasy is a curious mix of mature love songs and whimsical nods to the past.
-
Slant Magazine
2010 - These records are obligatory music that no interpretative drill can dismantle.
-
Popdose
2010 - It was, in so many ways, the sound of someone finally coming into his own with a sense of peace and freedom from a legacy he himself fashioned.
-
Iccon Fetch
2010 - It’s impossible to listen to all the way through, because every other track is a Yoko Ono song (apparently it was her idea).
-
Something Else
2010 - Double Fantasy never felt dangerous enough to be a great John Lennon record, but there is much to recommend.
-
Red Dirt Report
2010 - It’s just a tragedy the world wasn’t allowed to find out what other musical masterpieces John and Yoko had in mind.
