Review

Rolling Stone (11/25/93, p.120) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...WHEN I WAS A BOY is funereal and expansive....Nothing Siberry has done in the past prepares the listener for this album's spooky obsession, bewilderment and resignation....Siberry approaches her task with fearless simplicity..."
Q (8/93, p.100) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...this is an album crammed with neat, if hardly light-hearted, moments, which improve with every listen..."
Melody Maker (7/31/93, p.29) - "...WHEN I WAS A BOY [is] subtly powerful...[Jane] Siberry mingles the gooey and the sinister..."
Musician (10/93, p.90) - "...at its most harrowing, [WHEN I WAS A BOY] surpasses even the intensity of Lou Reed's LOVE AND LOSS....Not an easy listen, but surely a rewarding one..."
Village Voice (3/1/94, p.5) - Ranked #25 in the Village Voice's 1993 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll.

Jane Siberry's last album during a five-year critically-applauded but commercially-negligible tenure with Reprise Records, 1993's WHEN I WAS A BOY trades the optimistic loveliness of albums like THE WALKING and BOUND BY THE BEAUTY for a darker, occasionally bleak meditation on love and loss. Inspired by the recent death of her father, Siberry has constructed a song cycle with little of the exhibitionistic mawkishness of, say, Sinead O'Connor's I DO NOT WANT WHAT I HAVEN'T GOT.

Instead, Siberry's lyrics are more general and poetic, which makes their emotional heft that much greater. The heartbreaking "The Vigil (The Sea)" and the cathartic and uplifting "Love Is Everything"--here in two versions--are as powerful and musically breathtaking as any pop music dealing with the subject of death.
