CRITIC REVIEWS

80
AllMusic

Antenna to the Afterworld turns out to be the best kind of pop album: it sounds great and it's full of catchy songs, but it has just enough deeper meaning and emotional depth to keep it from blowing away in a light breeze.

Pitchfork

He might've replaced the cowboy hat with a spaceman's helmet, but Sonny Smith still writes like a country balladeer.

Paste

Antenna to the Afterworld is both a more imaginative album than its predecessor and a more fully realized vision.

70
No Ripcord

Afterworld has the earmarks of a classic pop record through and through, and expands on Smith’s peculiarities with an odd array of synth textures that send up the days of sci-fi schlock

70
Consequence of Sound

Ostensibly a concept album about an alien invasion of earth, Antenna To The Afterworld explores the depths of mortality, more romantic troubles, and extreme otherness, all in a synth-drizzled garage pop package.

Sonny and the Sunsets shift from their classic 60's, 70's style and incorporate synths and a weird obsession with alien life. Still a a great transition album.
