"Mercury Rev has recruited a murderers' row of guest vocalists to reinterpret Gentry's album track-by-track, with the band holding fort as a sort of psychedelic house band. Bobbie Gentry's The Delta Sweete Revisited is a layered, affectionate and often gorgeous tribute to an album that never got its due, even if the band's string-drenched grandeur occasionally smoothes over the swamp-rock grittiness of Gentry's music... Still, the album does not aim to recreate arrangements from a half-century prior; the emphasis is on radical reinterpretation, and that mission succeeds... Mercury Rev's project revels in a spirit of discovery and transformation. If you haven't heard The Delta Sweete before, here's a gift for you. And if you have, here's something new." - Paste Magazine

"A loving tribute...one of the greatest albums you have never heard." - David Fricke
