    Mike Oldfield's new album is great, he is just playing and enjoying what he is doing. So unpretentious and uplifting, I'm glad he is recording again, His guitar solos are so Oldfield and masterfully placed.

    The guitar solos are the album’s single saving grace.

    Man On the Rocks is better when he dials down the mawkish choruses and over-emoting vocals. [Apr 2014, p.97]

    Imperfections aside, this is a strange, oddly compelling addition to his catalog.
