Rolling Stone (10/14/99, p.122) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Sting's most stylistically integrated album since 1987's NOTHING LIKE THE SUN. There's groovy Rai music, witty bossa novas, warm-hearted Bach revisions and independent country, plus a smashing finale..."
Q (1/00, p.87) - Included in Q Magazine's "50 Best Albums of 1999."
Q (11/99, p.132) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...[Its] goodie bag of class-rock, breakbeats, bossa nova, rap, chanson and whatever next gives more the more it's played....Sting can still pull it off....full of vaulting ambition and cat-killing curiosity."
Mojo (Publisher) (11/99, p.108) - "...Sting employs eclectic shadings masterfully and always in the right places....BRAND NEW DAY is big of tune and smart of lyric to the power of 10. Given time, it could be your favorite Sting album ever."
