"As a whole, Lighthouse doesn't reach the creative level of its 1971 inspiration ... Lighthouse is lovely, but the lack of attention to detail blunts some of the writing and playing craft on offer".
"... the pleasure of Lighthouse is that it's best appreciated as mood music: with its buoyant acoustic guitars and murmured harmonies, it casts a light spell".
"Crosby's nonstandard guitar tunings and League's elaborate vocal productions make Lighthouse sound both vintage and forward-thinking. Crosby has always tended to avoid the simple path, and Lighthouse is no exception. As he sings in "By the Light of Common Day," its luminous closer: "Being happy isn't quite enough/Somehow I needed to make it rough."".
"[Crosbys] nye soloalbum er velproduceret og virker i forhold til [Neil] Youngs [nye] plade nogle steder renskuret. David Crosbys sangforedrag ligger klart og tydeligt placeret i et lydbillede, der er præget af smukke vokalharmonier og et flot akustisk guitarspil. Men Crosby huserer ikke kun i det lille intime format. Et nummer som "Somebody Other Than You" er sat stort og vellykket op".
