  1. New Musical Express (NME)
    80
    It's sickeningly impressive. Yes, Coxon's stormed through the Davey Graham Advanced Finger-Picking Guide but he hasn't forgotten to flip it over and write some of his best ever songs.
  2. Uncut
    80
    The Spinning Top, a really very enjoyable record, displays some of the finest aspects of the guitarist's talents, but chief among them, those that pertain to Coxon the folkie, and acoustic guitar stylist.
  3. Mojo
    60
    Graham Coxon has left behind his early Jam-meets-Syd-meets-Billy Childish thrashings and his more petulant little-boy-lost vocals, and recorded an album seemingly inspired by Paul Weller's "22 Dreams." [Jun 2009, p.98]
