"Now that singer/songwriter Ray LaMontagne has gotten the space rock of his previous two releases out of his system, it's back to basics on studio album number eight. He strips the sound back, way back, on this entirely solo recording. The tactic is implied by its Monovision (pre-order) title and emphasized by the old-school reel-to-reel tape recorder that adorns the cover.Montagne taps into his inner Tim Buckley, Cat Stevens, early Neil Young and Van Morrison on the often hushed, folk-soul of these ten tracks".

"Monovision, which refers to his singular perspective and doesn't not portend a return to mono - he crafts a warm, rustic record that plays upon memories of Van Morrison and Cat Stevens while sometimes drifting into the mellower moments of Led Zeppelin ... a record where the whole means more than the individual numbers, since LaMontagne strikes a very specific mood - one that's reassuring, even soothing - and then manages to sustain it until the end".
