==Reviews==
In a review for ''The Washington Post'', Peter D. Kramer wrote, "In ''Musicophilia'', Sacks turns to the intersection of music and neurology -- music as affliction and music as treatment." Kramer wrote, "Lacking the dynamic that propels Sacks's other work, ''Musicophilia'' threatens to disintegrate into a catalogue of disparate phenomena." Kramer went on to say, "What makes ''Musicophilia'' cohere is Sacks himself. He is the book's moral argument. Curious, cultured, caring, in his person Sacks justifies the medical profession and, one is tempted to say, the human race." Kramer concluded his review by writing, "Sacks is, in short, the ideal exponent of the view that responsiveness to music is intrinsic to our makeup. He is also the ideal guide to the territory he covers. ''Musicophilia'' allows readers to join Sacks where he is most alive, amid melodies and with his patients."
''Musicophilia'' was listed as one of the best books of 2007 by ''The Washington Post''.
