    The result is a strong, confident record that's his best solo effort to date.

    While imparting a palpable sense of immediacy to the performances, there are some tracks that could do with more work.

    Black Rainbows is the right album at the right moment. With its rich, layered sound and its hugely enjoyable preening, it is unashamedly Suede-esque. [Nov. 2011, p. 127]
