    Like most of Lidell’s discography, it seems simultaneously old and new, retro-minded and attuned to contemporary trends.

    It's actually the album's introspective second half which proves most affecting. [Dec 2016, p.110]

    Anybody yearning for reinvention or experimentation is going to be let down, but the fact that Building a Beginning remains so in thrall to Lidell’s soul heroes suggests that perhaps such drastic action wouldn’t be a good idea anyway.

    Building a Beginning takes to heart every criticism of his 2013 release, inverting it into something that, though restrained and even surprisingly heartfelt at times, does very little to save itself from being forgotten.
