Le Jardin de Heavenly is the second studio album by British twee pop band Heavenly.[8][9] The album was released on Sarah Records in the United Kingdom and K Records in the United States.[10]
Beat Happening's Calvin Johnson sings on the track "C is the Heavenly Option".
Entertainment Weekly wrote that "by keeping the sound sassy and the singing strong, Heavenly’s Le Jardin de Heavenly is adorable without being coy."[5] Melody Maker wrote that the album "recreates only the most stylised cliches of childhood."[11] Greil Marcus described the album as "Beatles echoes cut with a present-day cynicism so light it merely seems like doubt."[12]
Pitchfork said, "Stacked vocal harmonies and sugary guitars mark Le Jardin de Heavenly as quintessentially '90s indie pop, but it's the band's lyrical benevolence that makes these songs so tasteful."[1]
