Reviews"The set adds a truckload of characters....Familiar, compelling, and tugging out empathy." -- Grade: A, "Waits wisely organizes each disc around a loose musical or narrative theme, respectively collecting roadhouse blues shouters, love-and-murder ballads and bizarro sonic experiments.", Ranked #10 in Rolling Stone's "The Top 50 Albums of 2006in- "Waits Still Finds Magic...", "The songs are as rhythmically and melodically strong, as realized, as any single he's ever released.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "With his unfussy brushstrokes, umber hues and humanely honest delight in warts and all, he is the Rembrandt of modern music.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "ORPHANS is as true as music can be....In the underbelly world made real through his finest work, Waits has earned the right to be its bard.", Ranked #54 in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums of 2006.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "'Tell It to Me' and the recycled 'The Fall of Troy' are genre classics right up there with Wait's bumptious claims on 'Young at Heart' and 'Goodnight Irene'.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "BAWLERS is Asylum-vintage Waits. Piano and death-rattle voice to the fore, here he's wreathed in smoke, down at the bottom of a bottle."
