***Together at Last*** is the first solo album by American singer-singwriter [Jeff Tweedy](/source/Jeff_Tweedy). It was released on June 23, 2017 via [dBpm Records](/source/DBpm_Records). Recording sessions took place at the Loft in [Chicago](/source/Chicago) in January 2016. Produced by Tweedy himself together with Tom Schick, the album marks the first release of a proposed retrospective series titled *Loft Acoustic Sessions*[1][2] that will see Tweedy revisit songs from [Wilco](/source/Wilco)'s catalog, as well as from his [Golden Smog](/source/Golden_Smog) and [Loose Fur](/source/Loose_Fur) side projects.

## Critical reception

*Together at Last* was met with universal acclaim from [music critics](/source/Music_journalism). At [Metacritic](/source/Metacritic), which assigns a [normalized](/source/Standard_score) rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an [average](/source/Weighted_arithmetic_mean) score of 74 based on eighteen reviews.[3]

Josh Modell of *[The A.V. Club](/source/The_A.V._Club)* praised the album, stating: "another side-project song, Golden Smog's "Lost Love", gets sweetly chilled, and the *[Summerteeth](/source/Summerteeth)* deep cut "In A Future Age" loses some of its flair from the album version but gains intimacy. That's true of this whole exercise, really, but the trade-off works fantastically well on those particular songs".[4] Jamie Atkins of *[Record Collector](/source/Record_Collector)* described it as "a thoughtfully compiled career-spanning collection, performed solo on acoustic guitar".[5] [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic)'s Mark Deming concluded: "if *Together at Last* is a minor work in Tweedy's catalog, it's a simple but genuine pleasure that may convert a few doubters who haven't been won over by Wilco's eclecticism".[6] Jim Beviglia of *[American Songwriter](/source/American_Songwriter)* mentioned: "song choice is everything with a project like this, and Tweedy is wise to generally stray from obvious selections".[7] Aug Stone of *[Under the Radar](/source/Under_the_Radar_(magazine))* noted: "here the minimal setting makes not just the lyrics more prominent but the melody as well".[8] Philip Cosores of *[Pitchfork](/source/Pitchfork_(website))* stated: "with his wry charm absent, the album ultimately shows only a partial picture of Jeff Tweedy as a solo artist".[8]

In mixed reviews, Josh Hurst of *[Slant](/source/Slant_Magazine)* saw the album "won't ever take a place among the landmarks in Tweedy's catalogue, but it does provide a fresh way to hear and appreciate them".[9] Dave Simpson of *[The Guardian](/source/The_Guardian)* stated: "the unplugged format can get samey, but his delicate guitar playing is a joy and "Via Chicago"'s presumably metaphorical opening line, "I dreamed about killing you again last night", never sounded more lovely".[10] Andy Gill of *[The Independent](/source/The_Independent)* wrote: "for *Together At Last*, Jeff Tweedy revisits choice items from his back catalogue in solo unplugged mode. It's a brave step, given the imaginative depth with which Wilco animates this material, but it does allow the songs' core characters to come through more strongly".[11] Matt Bobkin of *[Exclaim!](/source/Exclaim!)* stated: "for Tweedy diehards, these intimate reworks may come off as a nice fireside chat with an old friend, but those less familiar with the singer are better off starting with the originals".[12]
