Q MagazineNov 22, 2013There's no hint of an artistic left-turn here. [Dec 2013, p.103]

Nov 1, 2013His worst enemy is still his own voice, an agitated whimper that makes even tender lines sound strangely like complaints.

Oct 22, 2013There’s certainly a market for anodyne, unthreatening, middle of the road pop, and Blunt appeals to that market very successfully. Yet those who look for music to move them, be it through the feet, heart or brain, probably won’t be surprised to find that there won’t be too much to appeal to them here.

Oct 22, 2013Rothrock does a decent job of pumping life into Blunt's material, building a song such as "Bonfire Heart" from fingerstyle guitar opening to big, exultant conclusion by way of subtle accretions. Not that he has much to play with.
