    Wood is one of our finest songwriters, a brilliant exponent of the topical troubadour form, and rarely on better form than he is with None the Wiser.
  2. The Guardian

    His latest album is remarkable for the settings as much as the lyrics.

    Whether it's the horrors of recognising yourself in an obnoxious younger person, his downbeat but defiant re-working of Jerusalem or the uncharacteristically optimistic The Wolfless Years, it's still the words that really stay with you. [Aug 2013, p.93]

    Though a new fondness for electric guitar and Hammond organ adds buoyancy to material like A Whole Life Lived, the album too often trades his former wit for bitterness.
  5. Uncut

    A move into electric guitar, Hammond organ and bass bring mixed results. [Aug 2013, p.79]
