CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
Certainly now hes become an unofficial leader of the indies, and if you reflect you can hear it in a Danger Mouse produced rock album, or the dreamy melodies of cross over bands like The Shins. Thanks to what started on Mellow Gold, theres a little Beck everywhere you look. […]

Rolling Stone
The much-hyped Mellow Gold isn’t the knockout punch insiders hoped for. Several throwaways compromise the album, and nothing else is quite as catchy as “Loser.” But virtually everything embodies the stereotypically manic-depressive slacker mind-set. […]

Stereogum
There are some truly great songs on Mellow Gold, but there’s also a whole lot of knowingly unlistenable junkard noise. And that’s what’s fascinating about it. Because even if Mellow Gold is only a half-great album, it’s more fun to think about than any other Beck album. […]
