    This is a brilliant album that will no doubt top some 'best of 2008' lists, but it's hard to work out if it's a one-off or not.
  2. Drowned In Sound
    60
    Perversely given the record's comprehensive musical overhaul it's perhaps a surfeit of respect for the source material that proves Anywhere's undoing; for all its undoubted accomplishments there's a lingering suspicion that this is too safe, too respectable a record to do justice to an artist who remains forever mid-topple from the bar stool in the popular consciousness.
  3. Dusted Magazine
    30
    Anywhere I Lay My Head falters on Johansson's vocals, or lack of a distinctive voice.

    I really didn't expect to like this at all, let alone this much. Something in it just works.

    This is not Scarlett! This is the producers creating a self-indulgent album. Scarlett has a beautiful voice - but it is drowned in the instrumentals. Someone obviously told her to sing that way - there's not an ounce of emotion. Bitterly disappointed, Scarlett ... hopefully next time, you'll sing for yourself.… Expand
