    Mostly it works. [Mar 2009, p.113]

  2. Blender

    His flat baritone suggests he’s still new at this whole “getting angry” thing, but the dude’s got the damaged part down.
  3. Drowned In Sound
    60
    Tellingly, Mark Ronson loves this album. Truth is, it's fine, and perfectly adequate, but nothing more.
  4. Prefix Magazine
    25
    His lyrics certainly won’t help, but if he wasn’t a Stroke, this album could only be sold out of Fraiture’s trunk at open-mic nights in upstate New York.
