May 4, 2018There’s plenty more evidence here that Frank remains one of our most consistently punchy, stirring and chaff-free songwriters.

May 4, 2018Overall, the album is thought-provoking and relevant. It’s an enjoyable listen and one which morphs and draws deeper messages with each listen. The moderate changes in sound only serve to highlight the poignance of the words through unassuming backing.

Kerrang!May 10, 2018Beautifully arranged and commandingly composed, Be More Kind is a great work from an expert in his craft. [5 May 2018, p.55]

May 15, 2018Turner's past music often expressed political views with passion, but this time is different. He's not sloganeering or pointing fingers as much as personally engaging with the world in which he finds himself.

Jun 27, 2018The melancholy, almost-'80s-esque chug of "There She Is" and the gentle acoustic lament of "The Lifeboat" are album highlights, two songs that that ably demonstrate Turner's ability to connect on an emotional level but also which show his growth and evolution as a musician.

May 14, 2018Turner’s inconsistent seventh LP may not compare with the likes of ‘Love Ire & Song’ and ‘Poetry Of The Deed’ but a willingness to experiment paired with a deceptively simple message make it a decent, if unremarkable addition to his stellar back catalogue.
