    There are no walls of distortion or crunching riffs; this time, they've traded all that for the beauty of Craig B.'s vocals and understated ambience. [Apr 2007, p.180]

    It is something brand new and completely unexpected.
  3. Drowned In Sound

    Here, Aereogramme have created something more than deserving of all the praise lavished upon it.
  4. AllMusic

    It does signal a turn toward a more thoughtful, artistically ambitious sound than before, not just maintaining the Scottish neo-prog quartet's penchant for forward movement but catapulting them out of minor-league status.
  5. The A.V. Club

    For the most part, My Heart is the sound of a good band overreaching.
  6. Q Magazine

    Occasionally... it cloys. [Mar 2007, p.110]

    A bland alt-pop stew that meanders aimlessly.

    this album is one of the best records that i've ever listened to. they use more strings on this one than any of their previous releases, this album is one of the best records that i've ever listened to. they use more strings on this one than any of their previous releases, but i think it suites craig's voice perfectly, giving the record an overall softer feel. they still maintain their heaviness but in a more dramatic and dynamic fashion, taking it up and down so smoothly that it is probably their easiest album to listen to, for those of you that can't handle the serious rock. these guys deserve much more recognition that they get, and in my opinon, the best album of 07 so far.… Expand

    Ive loved aereogramme since hearing A Story in White years ago. Went to see them live in feb after hearing 'My Heart...' only once- Ive loved aereogramme since hearing A Story in White years ago. Went to see them live in feb after hearing 'My Heart...' only once- they were excellent. While i dont think this abl is as good as White or Sleep and Release it is better than Seclusion which doesnt quite cut it. If you like any of Aereogramme's stuff you will like this. The highlights are Exits, A Life Worth Living and A Conscious Life for Coma Boy.… Expand
