Critic Reviews

SLANT
the singer’s classic rock influence (and devoted recreation of it) is once again evident on Lenny, with tracks like “Yesterday Is Gone” and “A Million Miles Away” recalling the crisp harmonies of John Lennon and the electric guitar riffs of Jimi Hendrix.

DROWNED IN SOUND
If you love music, take a hammer, and smash every copy you can find. You’ll be doing the world a favour. This is the exact antithesis of everything music stands for. Its stale, unoriginal, formulaic, repetitive, and shows as much originality and passion as a tribute band. There’s thousands of musicians out there with more originality and passion out there than Lenny. This is nothing more than a self-indulgent, artistic void of turd poured into plastic.

ALL MUSIC
There may not be singles that are as immediately grabbing as "It Ain't Over Til It's Over," "Let Love Rule," and "Are You Gonna Go My Way," but there are no dull spots, either, and this easily stands alongside his first three albums as a set of classy, near-irresistible pop for listeners weaned on classic and college rock, which is a wholly welcome surprise.

The TECH
Lenny, is a great collection of tracks. Overall, the release contains the usual Kravitz-sounding material, like “Fly Away,” that has infiltrated the radio waves over the last few years. Although he still holds on to his more successful sounds from earlier in his career, this album distinguishes itself through the use of softer ballads and Kravitz’s more personal stories.
