Critic Reviews
Show All-
Rolling Stone
Stand Up is a quintessential summer record, a collection of tight, group-composed grooves and breezy tunes that sometimes float by too easily.
-
Slant Magazine
The signature DMB jazz-rock sound still dominates, but touches of soul and funk find their way in.
-
Sputnik Music
This is the most poorly constructed set of songs in Dave Matthews Band's career. From beginning to end, the album lacks the inspiration and creativity.
-
Don't Burn The Pig
It’s an unresolved sound, a perfect setting for emotions that can’t quite be contained or even defined.
-
All Music
Not only does Stand Up fail to solve the central question of where does the Dave Matthews Band go next, it suggests that even though they are aware of the problem, they haven't really pondered what to do about it, or what it means for them in the long term.

Entertainment Weekly
One of Matthews’ gifts is that he can come on like an unrepentant lech one minute, then turn around and espouse a spiritual humanism that’s wholly convincing.

People
They return to the same kind of jam-band fusion—a signature blend of folk-rock, world beat, smooth jazz and VH1-ready pop—that fans have come to expect and that DMB can do in their sleep.
