“Spektor’s first new studio album in three years, What
We Saw From the Cheap Seats finds her scattering in several
directions without losing sight of the sweet melodies that make her so
accessible.” —NPR “All Songs Considered ‘First Listen’”
“Regina Spektor has become her generation’s Joni Mitchell—a singer-songwriter who nail-guns emotional trusts between wisecracks.” —Rolling Stone
“A set of beguiling originals abounding with hooks, humanity and endearing quirks.” —The Washington Post
“A singular songwriting voice that spans genres and personas with grace and apparent ease.” —NPR Music
“What We Saw from the Cheap Seats showcases Spektor’s eccentricity, beautiful vocal range, and ability to always surprise, so sit back and let yourself be surprised by how good the cheap seats really are.” —Bust
“There’s not a weak track on the record, and there’s something arresting in each song, from the dramatic Thomas Dolby-style electronic drum sound at the start of “All The Rowboats” to Spektor imitating a passing parade with her lips on “The Party.” —The Onion A.V. Club
“On “What We Saw From the Cheap Seats,” her fourth major-label studio set, Spektor uses the piano to anchor a succession of far-flung ditties, including the funky, suite-like “Small Town Moon,” the fuzzily percussive “All the Rowboats” and the deeply affecting white-soul ballad “How.” —The Los Angeles Times
