Rolling Stone (p.57) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[B]allads like the title track and the Springsteen-esque 'Beyond My Wildest Dreams' are world-wise and gently gorgeous." Entertainment Weekly (p.73) - "[T]he tension between their vocal personas -- she's ever hopeful, he's relentlessly glum -- is the highlight of ALL THE ROADRUNNING." -- Grade: B- Uncut (p.126) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "When Harris is upfront -- as on the wonderfully delicate 'Rollin' On' or 'Love And Happiness' -- it's sublime, emotive stuff." Dirty Linen (p.49) - "When it comes to artistic integrity, commercial appeal, and sheer transcendency, it doesn't get much better than this." No Depression (p.125) - "[A] remarkably cohesive album...sonically every track here sounds like it belongs..." Mojo (Publisher) (p.98) - 3 stars out of 5 --- "[W]hen translating his trademark languorous picaresques into his'n'hers arrangements the result is a series of ordinary life duets that...suggest moments of sun-setting harmony at the end of tired lives.

this is a spiritual journey To me Mark Knopfler is one of the top musicians alive today. The music he puts out just takes me to a different spiritual plane, the one where i want to be!!! All music is spiritual and can take you places. With Marks guitar and Emmylous voice,you need to just sit back and enjoy the ride. Yeah ,this is a must own cd, and anyone who loves great music should buy it now! Submitted by senorcito67 (los angeles, ca.) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.
Knopfler Magic Wonderful album and I can even get past the country girl Submitted by mkd (Anniston AL USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
M.Knopfler "Getting Better All The Time" MK a creative force,not afraid to take chances. Song writing beyond reproach. The vocal style of Emylou makes the collection all the more compelling. The man is a visionary talent. As usual quality of recording and level of talent of the players absolutely top notch, but that is what you expect from him. Buy it, it only gets better after repeat listenings. Submitted by GDcactus (Woodstock, GA, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo

Good, not great An interesting album, but it does wear thin after a while. Harris still has a strong voice, but some of the songs lack energy. Submitted by Tom (NY, NY) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
