James Good's review: "U2 seems to have rediscovered it's the songwriting that matters and with this new release, the writing combined with various musical influences and arrangements, makes an effort to reassure its core fan foundation they can walk the fence and be the U2 of 10 years ago as well as the U2 of this decade." Rating: 4/5. |

John Sakamoto's review: "All That You Can't Leave Behind leaves behind an impression that even the group's staunchest critics would not apply to any other U2 album: That this is the sound of a band that has lost its nerve." |
