CoS
It sounds like Duritz and the Crows, like all of us, are hopefully finding a way to settle in for that “long life full of long nights.” And why shouldn’t we all root for that?

RollingStone
On the seventh Counting Crows album, Adam Duritz is still the same dreadlocked dreamer you remember from the Nineties, channeling Van Morrison, R.E.M. and Bruce Springsteen into word-zonked ballads that reference Jackie O., Elvis, Johnny Appleseed and more.

Palms & Circumstances
Six years after ‘Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings’ American rock band Counting Crows releases new original material. The result leaves the listener a little helpless.

The Telegraph
Counting Crows channel Lynyrd Skynyrd and REM in their best collection of songs since their debut.

Memory loss. Death. Being under water. A lot. Counting Crows' latest features some of Adam Duritz's best moments ever, and it's now been more than 20 years after their debut.

ALL MUSIC
these new tunes can’t help but feel like part of a larger narrative that began during the band’s '90s glory days but finds further, greater refinement here.

sputnik music
Somewhere Under Wonderland presents itself as perhaps the most consistent and concise record the band has released since their debut.

Gobs of Reviews
is a toe-tapping, juke joint of a rock and roll record. It’s more aggressive musically than their original fare, but with a strong country twang that runs through it.
-
CRYPTIC ROCK
Well-respected veterans of Alternative Rock, Counting Crows have clearly taken advantage of the passage of time by honing their own skills and style.

Twenty-one years and five albums later, the band is back to remind us not only of times gone by, but of emotions still meant to be felt in the here and now.

Newsday
For their seventh studio album "Somewhere Under Wonderland" (Capitol), though, the stories have grown wild and unruly, the kind that end with the teller saying, "What was I talking about again?"
-
Financial Times
The songs still ramble away yet the best have a barroom-rock swagger.
-
The Morton Report
the album simply isn’t as much fun to listen to as some of the earlier ones.
-
the arts desks
Counting Crows map the geography of youth with all their usual brio and haunting lyricism.
-
POP CULTURE BEAST
That may not be art, and it may not make the Counting Crows into rock titans like Led Zeppelin or the Beatles. But it’s good enough for me.
-
brand new kind of photography
The band knows how to work within their constraints, and they know when to let Adam’s voice carry things in reverence and repetition, and they do all these things on this album.

traditional rock with a headstrong flair for the dramatic.
-
RUKUS
It’s not flashy, adventurous nor packing heat in the hit song department but it is a dependable Counting Crow’s record.
-
My Music Life
Somewhere Under Wonderland carries all the emotion a Counting Crows record should. All those angsty feelings from the 90's come rushing back. It's like running into an old friend you haven't seen in years, but getting along like you haven't missed a beat.

The DA
The new album art and style is as genius as the advanced musicality and deep lyricism of Duritz.
