Pontiac is the second studio album by American singer Lyle Lovett, released in 1987.




Critical reception



Pontiac was ranked at 201 in the list of the "500 Best Albums of All-Time" by the German edition of Rolling Stone in 2004. The album was cited as one of the top 100 albums of the 1980s by the Italian magazines Il Mucchio Selvaggio and Velvet. It is also one of 300 albums listed in the book 50 Years of Great Recordings, and appeared at number 33 on the Village Voice's list of top albums of 1988. A 2023 review by Pitchfork's Nadine Smith described it as "a terrific showcase of his subversive and idiosyncratic country style", with its songwriting "land[ing] somewhere between magical realism and creative nonfiction".

Pontiac reached number 12 on Billboard's chart for Top Country Albums, and 117 on the Billboard 200.
