Mar 12, 2013As ever, there are great songs here, underpinned by sharp, imaginative production.... The problem is that Lidell doesn't go far enough.
-
Feb 26, 2013The most frustrating thing about these eleven songs is that it sounds as if Lidell is shackled by the aesthetic, and it’s totally self-imposed. He’s capable of more.
-
Feb 19, 2013As enjoyable as it all is though, it’s hard to escape the lingering feeling that Lidell is best when balancing his desire to mine the rich seam of electronic music’s past with a more innovative perspective.
-
Feb 15, 2013There's often a mismatch of temperament between the most brutally juddering of Lidell's quacking synth grooves and the floaty, unanchored manner of his vocal lines.

Q MagazineFeb 13, 2013His music, colorful and entertaining as it is here, has yet to supply a definitive answer. [Mar 2013, p.98]

Feb 13, 2013Ultimately where Jamie Lidell falls down is its lack of originality or sense of emotional honesty.

The WireFeb 28, 2013His arch over-emoting robs his songs of any sense of genuine feeling. [Feb 2013, p.60]
-
Feb 25, 2013He does it [copying Prince and Roger Troutman] well, at times, but he usually makes you want to YouTube up the originals.
