    [“Desert Blues” is] a lovely and lightweight ending to an otherwise brooding work by two collaborators who seem just right for each other.

    Both parties in this collaboration have been firing off great records at will lately: here's another. [Sep 2018, p.88]

    A true meeting of minds then, and one that's deeply affecting throughout. [Sep 2018, p.119]

    Consistently excellent, the album reaches its zenith with “My Shadow Life”, a simple love song from out of the gloom: “On my life I swear that I love you/My shadow life, I swear that I love/I love you”. [Sep 2018, p.55]

    With Animals is the work of two men with great talent embracing what they do best, and with their skills elevating their work to a new level; this is collaboration between musical peers at its best.

With Animals might be a predominantly bleak work, but within its crumbling walls of decay, there’s considerable beauty to be found.

    With Animals does successfully create a cohesive mood, but it is not one of great substance. [Aug - Oct 2018, p.78]
