Liz Phair's third full-length album comes four years after her previous work, and it is inevitable that the singer-songwriter who redefined women's boundaries within the form is in a different stage of her life. She has, in the meantime, gotten married, had a child and, ostensibly, settled down and reflected. Thus, introspection defines the WHITECHOCOLATESPACEEGG Liz Phair--less confrontation and more examination is the maturing motto. No longer looking to put horny little indie-rock males down with sinister, well-chosen observations, she's examining her own desires ("Perfect World"), her life-giving experiences ("Only Son") and familial priorities ("Uncle Alvarez").
Still, rest assured that Phair hasn't gone completely VH-1. SPACEEGG has more of a visceral off-the-cuff kick than the Sheryl Crows of the world will ever muster. The Mick Taylor-era Stones are still the main musical reference--particularly on "Johnny Feelgood," a four-on-the-floor ode to a roughneck the narrator can't forget, cooing "I like it" at the thought of his bad-boy ways--but there's also a stab at weirdo analog synth-pop ("Headache") and a full-on blues boogie ("Baby Got Going") that's infectious in its simplicity. These are the sounds of Phair's diversification as an artist.

Editorial reviews
4 Stars (out of 5) - ...The softer songs...are engagingly intimate....The harder, more upbeat numbers are playful and pop-y, with just enough dry humor to keep them from floating away....WHITECHOCOLATESPACEEGG explores the dynamics of marital endurance...
Rolling Stone  (08/20/1998)

3 out of 5 - ...these 16 songs still have enough melody, attitude and wit to make Alanis Morisette and her ilk sound like whiny brats.
Q  (04/01/1999)

...Even when the music stomps around and Phair turns cheeky, she is, at heart, something of a sentimentalist....Ultimately, she's closer in spirit to brainiac singer-songwriters like Paul Simon or Joni Mitchell than to any of the idiosyncratic bands with whom she shares a record label... - Rating: A-
Entertainment Weekly  (08/14/1998)

...WHITECHOCOLATESPACEEGG is easily the Liz Phair set least rhythmically soulful....the Phairest songs here are about relationships with men...
Vibe  (10/01/1998)

6 (out of 10) - ...Phair's lyrics appear to have been retooled for mass consumption, too--the f****** and blowjob vignettes displaced by a series of marriage and parenthood/chilhood references. This 'maturity' isn't a surprising development...
Spin  (09/01/1998)
