Be My Echo is the second studio album by Kid Icarus, released in 2002 by Summersteps Records. The liner notes and packaging were designed and laid out by the keyboard player/guitarist Ted Baird. The names of the last three tracks are not listed on the album.
Music critic Matt Fink of AllMusic criticized the album's length, saying it "would endlessly benefit by cutting its 22 tracks in half, its sprawl is a bit hard to digest despite the presence of generally pleasant songwriting and a few winning tracks." [1] Fink added that while the album's songs experiment in different musical styles, Kid Icarus "never really reveals a sound that seems to suit him." [1] Diamond City Weekly writer Gene Padden said that "to find out it was recorded in a bedroom via 4-track was shocking, and damn impressive." [2]
