MojoOct 22, 2012Easy on the ear yet never sugary, full and layered yet never stodgy, intricately assembled yet never fussy, pulsing with a Ringo beat yet never monotonous. [Nov 2012, p.91]
-
Oct 9, 2012When these sweet reinterpretations are combined with the straight-ahead rockers, Long Wave adds up to a blueprint in reverse for Lynne; by going to back to his beginnings, he winds up figuring out why he went in the direction he did.
-
Oct 9, 2012Long Wave is actually pretty delightful, perhaps because it's just such a pleasure to hear that telltale Lynne sound again, after it's been absent from the airwaves for so long.
-
Oct 9, 2012Lynne doesn't try to break any moulds here, but respectfully doffs a cap at those that shaped him.
-
UncutOct 10, 2012All in all, an interesting exercise, far less arch and shamateurish than Kisses On The Bottom. [Nov 2012, p.74]
-
Oct 9, 2012Love songs and brazen nostalgia are the album's bread and butter, and it's hard not to be drawn in by the comfort of Lynne's layer upon layer of pleasant melodic attention.
-
Q MagazineNov 21, 2012Long Wave seems like great fun for Jeff Lynne, less so for the rest of us. [Dec 2012, p.111]
