    This record is a composite piece blessed with a vision and singularity that repeatedly surprises and invigorates.

    The album's standouts, however, are the two collaborations with Tirzah, whose understated vocals fit perfectly with Tricky's unnerving instrumentation and help to reveal an artist who's still capable of surprising, disturbing and revelling in his own idiosyncracies.

    Expectations are, as ever, moderate for Tricky's latest album, and he doesn't disappoint. [Sep 2014, p.60]

    The first half of the record clashes significantly with the latter half, which is... eclectic.

    It still comes from within a hydroponic fug of sedated beats and mumbled vocals. However, there's also a renewed sense of self. [Nov 2014, p.119]

    Tricky may not be reinventing the wheel, but his focus is sharper than ever. [Oct 2014, p.93]

    While there are occasional flashes of brilliance on this 10th studio album, the missteps far outnumber the bright points.
