Kris Menon regards Leonard Cohen's latest album as Twilight of the Master (Time Canada, 25/10/04)."Leonard Cohen’s eccentric new release is sure to challenge even his most loyal fans."
"Dear Heather is a strange, at times impenetrable, work completed by a respected and masterly writer late in his career."
"In stark contrast to ... Ten New Songs (2001), Dear Heather is underwhelming and incomplete. Ten New Songs showcased ... the gravelly baritone sing-speaking deeply moving poetic verse, set to simple yet emotionally awakening country-folk guitar and piano. Dear Heather offers few flashes of that Cohen brilliance. To get to the gems, Cohen’s fans will have to sift through a fair amount of dirt."
