    Disappointing: didn't live up to the hype. Three of rour good tracks and the rest was found wanting.

    As Is Now may be his finest and most consistent record since 1993's Wild Wood; possibly even since the days of The Jam. [Nov 2005, p.100]

    A great study in songcraft, but not a consistently exciting listen.

    Where on the first listen I found it merely okay, it's a record that reveals itself as a work of surprising depth and detail when you give it multiple spins.
