    It all makes for a breezy yet powerful expression of independence from an artist who is always true to herself.

    Captain Of None places Schott's voice front-and-centre and folds in her long-burning love for dub and reggae rhythms, making for her most approachable and otherworldly record yet.

    For a musician who has been leaning on the same style of ambient electronic for years, Colleen bravely reaches for something outside her ethereal comfort zone on Captain of None.

    With its warm timbres and cushioning delays, sonically Captain Of None is Colleen's most approachable record yet. [Apr 2015, p.52]

    There are times on Captain of None where the album’s architecture is so compelling it's easy to miss the resonance of the songs themselves.

    Much of that atmosphere [from previous albums] remains on Captain Of None, thanks to whispered vocals and a focus on the courtly pluck of a viola da gamba. [Jun 2015, p.73]

    More than any sort of technical achievement or genre alteration, Captain of None powerfully blends the mythic, organic, and internal.
