Call the comet

"It's the best of Marr's solo albums, and while he may not have the lyrical dexterity or vocal charisma of some of his former collaborators, age shows no sign of withering his facility with melody, or that gorgeous, liquid guitar playing".

"Once you dig through the layers of musical gloss to unearth Marr's message, his mild vocal performance jibes with his idealism. He's writing with compassion, not anger on Call the Comet; this isn't protest music so much as a plea to our better angels. Such an open heart is uncommon in these combative times, and Marr's sincerity gives his flawed album some appeal".

"Hvis man skal kritisere Marr for noget, så er det, at han trækker numrene lige en tand for langt. Kun den Joy Division/New Order-klingende "My Eternal" sniger under de fire minutter, og albummet kunne godt have klaret en trimning på 10 minutter. Det ændrer dog ikke på, at Call the Comet, uden diskussion, er hans stærkeste samling numre i eget navn".
