    Oh god, this is awful. Loved his first album, this is a tired collection of musical cliches that don't generally fit his voice. The musical equivalent of the Matrix sequels - best forgotten. Go get 'These Streets' instead.

    All passable fare. [Jul 2009, p.92]
  2. This one leaves its generational competition in the dust and is wise beyond this songwriter's years, and to be frank, leaves his own previous identity as simply a bedroom balladeer to history.
  3. At times, there's a lack of consistency with too many ideas thrown onto the table, but it's that diversity heard throughout Nutini's sophomore effort that gives this AC singer/songwriter a leg up.
