''Smile'' marks a move away from the band's long-time alt-country stylings to a more pop approach. ==Reception== 〕 | rev2 =Robert Christgau | rev2Score =(C) | rev3 =Pitchfork Media | rev3Score =(7.5/10) }} A number of critics mentioned the change in sound of ''Smile''. In his review for Allmusic, critic John Duffy praised the album and wrote "The general shift in direction may alienate a few long-term fans, but much like friends Wilco achieved with their adventurous Summerteeth, Smile's modern touches may bring even more people into the band's orbit. What never changes on the Jayhawks' albums, it seems, are the blissful melodies and well-constructed tunes, and that may just be enough for even the toughest critics."〔 Music critic Robert Christgau gave the album a C rating, writing "...now they're as vapid as late Poco and then some. Although specifics do assert themselves, like when the drummer sings or the inspirational title cut references some northern clime, Gary Louris's boys aspire to the generalization level of transcendentalist parlor ballads, Hallmark cards, and, increasingly, Music Row."〔 Critic David Browne of ''Pitchfork'' wrote of the album "If hardcore Mark Olson-era Jayhawks' fans felt betrayed by the dark pop of 1997's Sound of Lies, they'll be downright vigilant after hearing Smile."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Smile (The Jayhawks album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
