Oct 5, 2012Halcyon could have gone for easy crossovers. But the album is slightly too weird for that--and that's what makes it good.
-
Oct 5, 2012Halcyon is a bold and confident step forward.
-
Oct 9, 2012On Halcyon she marries thoughtful ruminations on young love to whooshing synth riffs and hard-edged machine beats; the album claims electronic dance music as the natural province of sensitive singer-songwriters.
-
Oct 8, 2012An ambitious work by an artist intent on developing her total sound, Halcyon finds Goulding poised at the edge of artistic and career possibilities.
-
MojoOct 22, 2012There is improvement in the songwriting....But halfway through you might well weary at the album's unrelenting, full-bodied tone. [Nov 2012, p.91]

Oct 8, 2012She makes a half-decent dance diva on "I Need Your Love", but I'd ask whether that doesn't defeat the object of being Ellie Goulding, though I still don't know what that object is.

Oct 8, 2012Mainly, Halcyon sees Goulding's quirky-as-usual vocals lazily spliced into factory-standard chart dance.
