Review - :
{\Singer/songwriter} {$Jack Johnson} writes songs that just feel good. The simple equation that combines him with an acoustic guitar is warm and relaxed, a cozy formula that's made him a favorite among American college crowds. It should be to no surprise that {$Johnson} sticks with what he does best for his third album, {^In Between Dreams}. Producer {$Mario Caldato, Jr}. is back again, touching up {$Johnson}'s summery backdrop for another playful set of songs. The genre-blending charm and sweetness that made {^Brushfire Fairytales} and {^On and On} doesn't change that much, but does it really have to? {$Johnson}, alongside drummer {$Adam Topol} and bassist {$Merlo Podlewski}, makes safe records. While there isn't anything wrong with that, taking a few more risks sonically and lyrically wouldn't work against him. Tender moments such as {&"If I Could"} and {&"No Other Way"} showcase a more reserved side on {^In Between Dreams}. Other highlights include the {\lullaby}-like {&"Breakdown"} and the {\bossa nova} rhythms of {&"Do You Remember."} Whether he's singing about being in love -- which he does quite well on {&"Better Together"} and {&"Banana Pancakes"} -- or reflecting on its hardships, {$Johnson}'s laid-back approach is his biggest strength. {^In Between Dreams} is a bit brighter and more upbeat, but his song remains the same. [This version of the album includes bonus material.] ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
