  1. Mojo
    80
    A covers album supreme. [Dec 2004, p.114]
  2. The concept and the execution are both spectacular.
  3. The disc's effectiveness comes from the subtlety of the theme as much as its pervasiveness.
  4. New Musical Express (NME)
    80
    Will shock conservative punk purists everywhere. [11 Sep 2004, p.57]
  5. Hands down, In the World of Him is Timms' masterpiece.
  6. While a nine-track, 30-minute-long album rarely begs for editing, what Timms has assembled here might have made better sense as an EP.
  7. Sally Timms has a profound knack for interpreting a song.
  8. The music surrounds the sustained emotion of her voice with a pensive, hallucinatory overlay.
  9. Blender
    70
    You sense Timms has seen it all. [Oct 2004, p.130]
  10. Timms has made some perplexing choices in song selection.
  11. Uncut
    40
    You're left wondering quite what point she's trying to make. [Nov 2004, p.122]
  12. An unpleasant record to listen to.
