"Memory of the Future is more adventurous than its predecesor, 1989's widely praised Ghosts Upon the Road. The best song, the title cut, breaks new stylistic ground: Half Sade, half William Burroughs. It's jazzy sleek and menacing." 
– Entertainment Weekly

“There's more brilliance on the hour-long Memory of the Future . . . This is dreamy, introspective music – the kind best heard late at night by the light of a dying candlelight – and it's packed tightly with the sort of lyrics that long ago earned Andersen a ‘new Dylan’ tag. His main preoccupation remains relationships, and he writes memorable lines about the power of physical and spiritual love. But the album also includes a well-honed murder mystery ('Chinatown'), a chilling look at Nazis past and present ('Rain Falls Down in Amsterdam'), and a sad farewell to life (Phil Ochs' 'When I'm Gone,' the album's only cover). . . Well worth seeking out. (4-1/2 stars)”

"Eric Andersen's Memory of The Future and personal songwriting style in is in its own superior class."
