    Finding true love has never come easy to Ferry, but his famed warble still revels in elusive, discofied romance.

    Luckily, the songs are more often grand than boring.

    It's a good album, and without the pressure of making it under the Roxy Music name, Ferry has made a confident and remarkably fresh-sounding record simply by doing what he's done best for over three decades.

    Ferry can only do jaded and glum nowadays – but when it works, he blissfully drags you under with him.

    At 65, former Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry is still the smoothest art-rocker ever.

    Slick but foxy music from under pop music's best-maintained fringe. [Nov. 2010, p. 109]

    The fact of the matter is that Bryan Ferry has produced another album of inessential middle-of-the-road cosmopolitan adult-pop. The only difference is that this time they are his own songs.
