  1. New Musical Express (NME)
    90
    My Maudlin Career is the kind of record that exists to reward those both mad, and sad, in love.
  2. Drowned In Sound
    90
    Occasionally shrouded in sadness but with happiness always beating from its core, My Maudlin Career lays bare the sweet melancholy of love.
  3. Uncut
    60
    Nothing is a strong as 'Hey Lloyd...' and Traceyanne Campbell's lachrymose croon is struggling to find new melodies, but on tracks like 'French Navy' and 'Honey In The Sun,' CO remain heartbreakingly lucid. [May 2009, p.80]
