Apr 15, 2013Birthdays is the kind of record you’re not likely to let go of easily and in coming times it’s likely to be a touchstone recording for a number of singer-songwriters and a measuring stick for critics.

Mar 13, 2013Blessed with a beautiful, halting falsetto and a way with words, he is a very sad man, and this is a very sad album. It will make you want to lie down in the dark for a while and think about things.

Q MagazineMar 13, 2013It's a transformation that makes the delicate beauty of what comes before even more startling. [Mar 2013, p.102]

Mar 13, 2013The album isn’t easy going: it’s hard to completely love a record as bleak as this.... but Henson has a poet’s way with words and an expressive voice that you’d never tire of listening to.
-
Mar 13, 2013Henson spends 20-odd minutes working his tremulous voice--somewhere between Paul Simon and Wayne Coyne--around echoing guitar.... Then suddenly he finds the socket and ‘Don’t Swim’ rages into life, his guitar bashed and throttled.
-
Mar 13, 2013It will inspire obsessive fandom and moisten a few eyes, but Henson’s voice is something of an acquired taste.
-
Apr 26, 2013Despite his delicate--make that dainty--designs, Henson also knows how to set a fanciful mood, albeit one that’s singularly subdued.
