MOG Editorial Review
When Jeff Buckley gets brought up in conversation, two things are normally mentioned: his tragic early death or his cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." They're both notable, but it'd be a shame if you didn't add the entirety of Grace to the discussion, a near-perfect, alt-rock gem that serves as his true legacy. Buckley's dramatic voice will draw you in and the ranges he hits, as on "Mojo Pin," show him capable of multilayered emotions, soft one moment, and explosive the next. Yet it's bittersweet songs like, "Lover, You Should've Come Over," and "Last Goodbye" that truly resonate with Buckley's talent, which unfortunately was fully realized.

AMG Review of Grace
Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music GuideJeff Buckley was many things, but humble wasn't one of them. Grace is an audacious debut album, filled with sweeping choruses, bombastic arrangements, searching lyrics, and above all, the richly textured voice of Buckley himself, which resembled a cross between Robert Plant, Van Morrison, and his father Tim. And that's a fair starting point for his music: Grace sounds like a Led Zeppelin album written by an ambitious folkie with a fondness for lounge jazz. At his best -- the soaring title track, "Last Goodbye," and the mournful "Lover, You Should've Come Over" -- Buckley's grasp met his reach with startling results; at its worst, Grace is merely promising.
