Phantom Center is a 1990 studio album by the Canadian female singer-songwriter Ferron.

Background and release

It was Ferron's first album in six years. It was later re-packaged and re-released by Warner Bros. Music in 1995.

Critical reception

Robert Christgau rated this album "neither", meaning "may impress once or twice with consistent craft or an arresting track or two. Then it won't".

Stephen Holden in the New York Times called the album 'captivating', noting "its quirky, archetypal imagery, and diction that swings between the conversational and the oracular". Steven Hochman of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the album "made modern self-analysis seem easy, and even fun."
