Rolling Stone
And then the rest of the album shows the flip side of those pretty, alluring dreams. Dispensing for the most part with the sledgehammer ironies of Newman’s broadest songs and showing his usual command over a subdued palette of piano-based but near-orchestral hues, Land of Dreams works in subtler, more unsettling ways.

Robert Christgau
I’m pro because history has caught up with Randy Newman. As his cynicism deepens and his craft turns back on itself, events conspire to make both useful again. Not revelatory, much less politically effective or something–in this soul-sapping interregnum and the life-destroying reign that will follow, refreshing, even entertaining, will have to do. Things have gotten so bad that the pretzel logic of Land of Dreams is at least as inspirational as, for instance, the no longer fresh-faced idealism of Rattle and Hum, a record I like more than most of the cynics who put Newman down these days.

Land of Dreams is a wonderful but also frustrating album. Nine of its twelve tracks are brilliant at the very least (the likes of “Dixie Flyer”, “New Orleans Win the War” and “I Want You to Hurt Like I Do” can all legitimately claim to stand alongside Newman’s greatest songs ever) but the three bad tracks are just soooooo terrible that their drag factor is impossible to ignore.
