MojoFeb 22, 2018Literary, rockin' and still pathologically possessed of above-par tunes. [Apr 2018, p.96]
-
Feb 8, 2018The wry, Chris Difford-esque football analogies in the ailing relationship-related ‘Injury Time’ (“they think it’s all over, it is now”) show Astor has retained a keen sense of humour, yet Dead Fred and the mortality-facing titular track are befitting of a record stuffed with songs intended to both “celebrate and grieve”.
-
Feb 20, 2018For the most part, too, it’s an absolute joy, an urbane, witty, extremely catchy selection of three minute ditties, superbly well-written and expertly arranged.
-
Feb 8, 2018Whilst again, as with its immediate aforementioned predecessors, there is a nagging feeling across One For The Ghost that Pete Astor could be still digging deeper into his cupboard of less conventional musical arrangements, there remains a good helping of charming and curious songs that invite return visits and slack-cutting forgiveness.
-
Feb 15, 2018One for the Ghost shows that Astor's creative rebirth wasn't a fluke, and it's good that he's making albums on a regular basis once again.
-
UncutFeb 8, 2018One For The Ghost is at its best when he works up a head of steam and leaves James Hoare's guitar space to sparkle. [Mar 2018, p.22]

Q MagazineFeb 8, 2018The sound of a seasoned crafstman at work, One For The Ghost is a record that radiates his customary warmth and intelligence. [Mar 2018, p.104]
