    Here technology is merely a vessel for a sound that remains pastoral and beguiling. Truly, a class act. [May 2015, p.95]

    An album that’s more mature and focussed than Stealing Sheep’s debut, harnessing all of their interesting quirks within a showcase of excellent songwriting.

    Despite their best efforts to thwart it, Stealing Sheep's intoxicating otherworldliness ultimately wins out.

    They pull off shifts in mood and tone with routine aplomb. [May 2015, p.83]

    Stealing Sheep could have easily made another weird art album, and it would have been great; instead, it made a weird pop album, and it's a bold step into a bigger world. [No. 119, p.61]

    Not Real proves a fun set--but whilst you can't help but admire Stealing Sheep for evolving their sound, with a few track tweaks it could have been an evolution which went so much further.

    Too much of Not Real is nondescript and dull.
