    This off-piste project has turned into a far more substantial, fully realised undertaking. [Jul 2017, p.24]

    They’ve reunited in the studio for this succinct collection of gentle pop-rockers, familiar yet far more strange and beautiful than 2013’s brittle Fleetwood Mac EP.

    The overwhelming success of this unexpected Mac mashup is clear evidence that it's more than a one-off idea. [No. 144, p.52]

    This dichotomy between the album’s two bandleaders makes the album an authentically interesting listen instead of a throwaway reunion effort.

    Free from the weight of living up to the Grammy-winning behemoth’s history, this 40-minute collaboration shimmers and contains the cheeriest laments about unrequited love you’ll ever hear.

    A curious album to be sure, Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie could just as well have been released as two separate EPs.

    This sounds like togetherness put on, not poured out.

Overall I think the result is not a top-notch one but it helps relieve a little bit the hunger to hear the beloved voice of Christine again. For me none of the songs really stand out, but a few tend to flop like the single 'Sleeping Around the Corner' and 'Too Far Gone'. My personal favorites from this record are 'Red Sun', 'In My World' and the last track 'Carnival Begin'. I totally recommend to give it a try, you won't be disappointed.… Expand

    This album shows why Stevie Nicks is necessary in Fleetwood Mac. The contrast between McVie and Buckingham has never been more apparent - sheThis album shows why Stevie Nicks is necessary in Fleetwood Mac. The contrast between McVie and Buckingham has never been more apparent - she of the sunny bop, he of the tortured, overacted melodrama. I'm not sure which is more maddening: songs that make you wish the singer would go ahead and pull the trigger already, or ditties that Snoopy the dog would find too chirpy? This would have made an OK McVie EP, but as always Buckingham has to steer the ship or he's getting off. Let him get off, already. They even messed up the album cover - photoshopped on a white background, it's as lightweight as the material. Better songs might have inspired a copy of the old Buckingham Nicks cover with Christine in Stevie's place.… Expand
