Editorial reviews
4 Stars (out of 5) - ...TWILIGHT is, in its shotgun way, strong, convincing Reed: prickly, confessional, poisonously funny, unabashedly romantic. And it gets under your skin in a cumulative way... Rolling Stone Magazine (03/07/1996)

...earnest, song-based feel...rock's original tough guy even admits to shockingly human emotions like vulnerability, jealousy and need... Musician (04/01/1996)

4 Stars (out of 5) - ...this album has a stripped down intimacy....There's still mischievousness in that wily old heart... Q Magazine (03/01/1996)

8 (out of 10) - ...begins and ends with the comforting burble of feedback, and in between there is Guitar....nothing is safe as the rejuvenated Reed gleefully loots rock's candy store to satisfy his newly rediscovered sweet tooth... New Musical Express (02/17/1996)

5 (out of 5) - ...A fresh breath of inspiration blows the album along... Alternative Press (05/01/1996)

...As if to equate emotional directness with musical austerity, Reed sets most of TWILIGHT's tunes to skeletal arrangements, often just guitar, bass, and drums. The songs are, by Reed standards, a surprisingly tuneful bunch... - Rating: B+ Entertainment Weekly

4 Stars (out of 5) - ...TWILIGHT is, in its shotgun way, strong, convincing Reed: prickly, confessional, poisonously funny, unabashedly romantic. And it gets under your skin in a cumulative way... Rolling Stone (03/07/1996)
