"It's beautiful, meditative stuff, even though this may be a more "difficult" Lambchop, with less in the way of obvious melodies to ground the listener. Initially, at just 32 minutes and eight tracks (two of them instrumentals), it could also seem a slighter offering. But over time and repeated plays, Showtunes weaves its magic, maintaining its mysterious atmosphere throughout, along with a welcome sense of stillness amid life's ongoing dramas".
