    The truth of The Sound Of Yourself is that it is a sometimes confused collection of songs, almost as though it were two albums co-existing in one space. ... However, the quality across the board in these compositions is consistent and the sound of McCaughan in this kind of form is always a delight.

    Album closer “Found Cricket” is another instrumental track that, apart from the addition of some distant guitar playing, occupies the same territory as the album’s opener. Yet credit is nonetheless due for a musician who, with a 30-year-plus career, refuses to coast with any single sound on his records. It’s clear The Sound of Yourself was a challenge McCaughan took seriously.

    [A] blend of instrumental moods, torpid 80s indie and self-regarding songs that never entirely clear their launchpad. [Oct 2021, p.79]
