    Blunt’s not a master of wordplay, and he’s certainly not trying to be a good technical rapper. But his flow, his delivery, is entrancing.

    Tthe album as a whole is a step forward for Blunt. Though the music isn't his most gripping, he's never achieved such a powerful synthesis of sound, concept and character.

    If that all sounds a bit lofty and conceptual, well, BBF is just that, but it’s also fun. Some tracks plod a little, and will sound pretentious to some ears, but each one contains a wealth of detail, and its best moments are miniature triumphs.

    BBF Hosted By DJ Escrow may be the most sarcastic record Blunt has put out, but there's real emotion here amidst the baby cries and union jack hover boards.

    Even more so than Blunt's previous work, BBF is a difficult, sometimes impenetrable listen, but it's the most powerful statement he's made yet.

    Ultimately the potential legacy of BFF Hosted by DJ Escrow lies with the future artists it may inspire.

    It is a painfully raw, emotionally generous, politically charged, intensely intelligent, sometimes unlistenable album.
