    Focused and fighting fit, My way is proof that at 46 Ian brown is nevertheless prepared to go all 15 rounds. [Nov 2009, p.108]
  2. With his sixth release, Brown has become the UK’s most consistently entertaining and often innovative solo artist.
  3. Ian Brown just keeps on getting better. As it stands, his way seems like the only way to go.
  4. This is a surprisingly engaging record that highlights Ian Brown as an underrated songwriter and arranger, and underscores the point that while his enthusiasm for creativity is as infectious as ever, Spike Island and its ilk are unlikely to be revisited in the forseeable future.
  5. All shuffling beats and pub wisdom, it's same again for Brown's latest.
  6. As with the rest of My Way, highlights and lowlights alike, you listen to it struggling to think of anyone else who would do this. And perhaps that's the secret of the most mysterious continuing success story in rock.
  7. For all its lofty goals and risky production decisions, the album runs out of steam with such sudden regression that it becomes impossible to advocate Brown's "way."

    Whilst "Golden Greats" remains my personal favourite Ian Brown album (with "Music Of The Spheres" a close second), "My Way" is definitely his Whilst "Golden Greats" remains my personal favourite Ian Brown album (with "Music Of The Spheres" a close second), "My Way" is definitely his most consistent set yet and contains great tunes in abundance! After the relatively disappointing "The World Is Yours", the man sounds reenergised, reinvigorated and inspired, delivering a great, semi-autobiographical and stylistically varied pop opus which almost plays like a greatest hits set such is the quality on offer.
