    It's a vibrant set with a live feel, alternating between rowdy folk-rockers and some of Thompson's most poignant ballads. [Mar 2013, p.77]

    In its creation of something towering from fundamental, basic elements, it is alchemical.

    A vigorous 11-song collection that keeps the lyrics and melodies straightforward, allowing the complexity and uniqueness of his guitar-playing to burst through.

    Overall, Electric is another consistent yet unsurprising recent Thompson album. [No. 95, p.59]
