Critic's View:

....but Springfield at least concludes it on a promising and seemingly prayerful note with "Open My Eyes." The track, just over a minute in length, searchingly repeats the phrase "open my eyes to you" in lush, multi-tracked harmony. It's almost as if, in classic daytime drama style, Springfield aims to kill off the character he made famous and to reveal, if only tentatively, his true self. That would be the best possible ending, as most of Shock / Anger / Denial / Acceptance makes you hope, for Springfield's sake, he was only acting after all. - Steve Morley, freelance writer.

 

 

According to US

Another shorty! I like this ending to such a hot CD, but wonder why maybe they didn't put it at the beginning. Like my kids said when they first heard this one, "That's it?" You sorta get into it and then it's over. Again, I love love love that acoustic guitar, so beautiful. I could just listen to that strumming for hours. - Amy L.
