  1. Playlouder

    The production is perfect - not too cluttered, lush, beats melting beautifully into the now-understated guitar - and his vocals are warm and unpresuming.
  2. Q Magazine
    60
    Lacking the strangely compelling shambolic glory of his first solo album Unfinished Monkey Business and the crisper soul-warrior posing of second solo set Golden Greats, this album isn't going to fulfill Brown's hopes of bettering The Stone Roses' debut.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    60
    No song is quite right: a lyric about angels or elephants here, a trip-hop beat there, and even the Milky Way would blush.
