    It was never going to be as scintillating as a clowncore remix of Lennon’s Lost Weekend, but the collaborative album with Field Music’s Peter Brewis is a peculiarly riveting listen.

    It’s another excellent addition to Brewis’ catalogue; for Smith, it’s a confident step towards the avant-garde.

    The album won't take the place of anyone's day job, but it is a nice diversion for all involved.

    It doesn't always comes off, but there are plenty of inspiring moments. [Dec 2014, p.81]

    Frozen By Sight is a good record--one that’s exquisitely played and recorded. It’s also a little stiff: occasionally its arts festival origins become a little too obvious and one wishes it would cut loose a little more.

    This studio rendition fills out the sound with added instruments, but this essentially remains a suite of spiky, modern-classical compositions delicately showcasing Smith's sensitive, frequently affecting observations on where he has fetched up. [Dec 2014, p.89]
