"As with both prior albums, its broadly an accessible mix of melancholy ballads. Mid-album I'd go as far as calling it 'dreary', like a collab between Dave Gilmour and The Verve, but there's enough bite to enjoy in the longer tracks, particularly the title track and Child of the Universe."

"Finally George is predominantly underway with mellow ballad modus operandi, hence it's all less dynamic, sometimes sounds similar to Steven Wilson's solo work, but overall this turns out to be way more shot through with Pop music attitude." (Rivertree, B, )
