    After the Rain certainly has flaws, but Leftwich has created a fragile, precious, oddly comforting thing.

    On this record Leftwich has managed to turn tragedy into uplift using a consistent sonic formula.

    The Coldplay-leaning Some Other Arms and the flowery-welly wearing Mayflies suggest their final destination may be as soundtracks for the John Lewis catalogue or sunsets on Instagram. [Sep 2016, p.107]

    While this second effort has its engaging moments, Leftwich has stuck dispiritingly close to his early template of delicate folk with hushed vocals and lyrics about bruised hearts and rain. [Sep 2016, p.75]
