Q MagazineJun 29, 2011Unsurprisingly, this posthumous album doesn't reach such heights [as a973's Solid Air], and comes with a little too much overlong, incoherent blues whimsy. [Jul 2011, p.114]

MojoMay 19, 2011Fans will love the touching, piano-led title track, replete with the great man's Jack Russell terrier Gizmo barking at the end, while Stand Amazed finds Martyn at his rural front door, marveling at "the panoply of beauty" before him. [Jun 2011, p.103]

Jan 13, 2012Amazing as the music consistently is, however, it can't overcome this album's primary liability, which is Martyn's atrocious singing.
