    Sweet, solid collection about fatherhood and quitting cigarettes, sounding like the National. [Apr 2020, p.87]

    Another powerful record from one of the most profound talents of this generation of us born in the '80s and '90s.

    Even when Fallon does resort to simply weeping into the sawdust – You Have Stolen My Heart and When You’re Ready – it’s over the sort of gorgeous and poignant love letters to his family that make homeliness feel close to Godliness. Such saccharine succour.
