Sep 17, 2012I absolutely love this record. His use of open tuning produces some stunning guitar work. Any of these songs put in the hands of a big producer and a backup band could be pop masterpieces. Listen to this. Trust me.

Jun 12, 2012It's a different beast compared to his earlier work and admittedly, even I wasn't too keen on it to begin with. But having stuck with it, it soon had its talons in me and I can confidently proclaim it to be Kristian's best release yet.
It's unlike anything you've ever heard before. This man just cannot be from this world. -

Jun 12, 2012Wow! I was worried that we might see an "Iron and Wine" style turnabout but what has been delivered is a subtle, gentle evolution from 2010's The Wild Hunt. If you aren't familiar with Kristian Matsson, now is the time to get on board. For those who have been along for the ride, you won't be disappointed with this excellent release.

Feb 23, 2022it may well have been 10 years but, I will never get used to how raw, moving this record is. from opening to closing the songwriting on display here is some of the best you'll find in the flok blues world you will find. it's become art that has lasted and will always be in my life.

MojoAug 8, 2012It may prove hard for Matsson to get heard above the quiet din made by so many others who clutter his field, but he's one of the all-too-few worth listening to. [Sep 2012, p.94]

Aug 8, 2012Overall, There's No Leaving Now is a cohesive, wonderful album.

Q MagazineAug 2, 2012A record that perhaps only Dylan fans need apply for. [Aug 2012, p.110]
