Aug 17, 2011The results may be shaggy--a feeling reinforced by the length of the songs--but he still has much to offer.

May 19, 2011John Martyn's valedictory recordings have a suitably weary presence that makes even such legendary laidback soporificos as J J Cale and Leonard Cohen seem positively sprightly by comparison.
-
UncutMay 19, 2011There's little on Heaven And Earth to truly trouble his best work, but throughout there's plentiful evidence of the many qualities which made Martyn so indefinable and influential. [Jun 2011, p.84]
-
May 19, 2011Not easy. Not pleasant. But touching in parts, if only because of Martyn's honest gaze.

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.
