    Another solid effort by Harcourt. The highs aren't quite as high as on his last effort, The Beautiful Lie, but overall, very solid throughout and a solid expansion of his sound while not really changing the elements that make his music so endearing.

    Rather than take the leap of faith required to create art truly terrible or transcendent, Harcourt has aimed, and landed squarely in the middle of the road, where the world is busy passing him by. [Summer 2010, p.84]

    Lustre takes on a kind of cinematic joy where Harcourt the long-suffering vampiric troubadour steps into the light and shines.

    Harcourt is a singer of uncommon charm, and Lustre is a welcome reminder that when he's on top of his game--which he is for roughly half the record--you'll want for little else.
