    As a Belle & Sebastian album, Days Of The Bagold Summer may be a bit slight, but as a soundtrack it is considerably more cohesive and alluring than Storytelling, all due to the group's increased mastery of texture and feel.

    The best new tracks' confidence boosts the band's emotional clout. [Oct 2019, p.88]

    It's all very pleasant, but a lot of it does drift past without leaving much of an impression. [Oct 2019, p.106]

    Days of the Bagnold Summer plays like a b-sides compilation with a few cuts worth revisiting. Like the Storytelling OST, this one’s strictly for the heads.
