Sweetness & Light follows the same blueprint as its predecessor, Melting in the Dark, finding Steve Wynn exploring the feedback-drenched, psychedelicized rock that was his signature with the Dream Syndicate. While it’s not as heavy as Melting in the Dark, Sweetness & Light has a grander array of sonic textures and a number of well-crafted songs that make it worthwhile for longtime fans. – Stephen Thomas Erlewine
