The Impossible Bird is an album by British singer-songwriter Nick Lowe.

[2] In a contemporary review of The Impossible Bird, Rolling Stone critic Paul Evans said that the album showed Lowe "in excellent form" with songs that "demonstrate a prodigious productivity and an emotional realism that ranges from heartbreak... to a well-earned bittersweet humor".

[9] People called it a "high point" for Lowe,[10] while Los Angeles Times critic Mike Boehm wrote: "The only real impossibility on this album lies in trying to resist the gently seductive pop charms of the crafty old bird who made it.

"[11] Less receptive was Robert Christgau of The Village Voice, who merely gave the album a "neither" rating.
