Jukebox Sparrows is the first full length album by American singer-songwriter Shannon McNally, released in 2002 (see 2002 in music).

Critical reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic concludes his review by saying, "This is very much a debut -- at times it's hard to not wish it would soar a little higher or shake off the formula of its genre -- but it's a very enjoyable, promising debut from an artist who could turn into something special."

Eden Miller of PopMatters writes, "Even though Jukebox Sparrows makes a couple mistakes along the way, it is an impressive debut that clearly shows the abilities of this powerful singer and songwriter."[1]

Billboard writes, "Produced by Ron Aniello over 11 months at Cello Studios in Los Angeles, "Jukebox Sparrows" reveals itself as a surprisingly confident musical and lyrical offering for such a young songwriter."[2]

The Washington Post's Mark Jenkins writes, "the singer has a taste for country, blues and gospel that would seem incongruous if she didn't boast the sort of voice that could stir a Pentecostal congregation."[3]
