    It amounts to Stornoway’s best work yet: big music, which deserves the largest stage.

    Their best work yet--there isn’t a weak track among the 11.

    It's Bronxie's heart, soul and natural world-inspired epiphanies that charm most. [May 2015, p.96]

    If some of Stornoway's folkier past has been lost in transition, then so be it. Fortunately, the conceptual nods to birdlife on every song from chief songwriter and rained ornithologist Brian Biggs compensate by finding a mainstream-friendly alternative. [May 2014, p.112]

    More accessible yet no less honest than their first two records, Bonxie is an expansion of Stornoway's best attributes.

    There is no ignoring the allusions to the natural world. And with big orchestration and even bigger ambition, the band were able to show just how we are only a small part of something much bigger.

    Bonxie doesn’t contain too many surprises, and it doesn’t really have many answers to the bigger questions, but it does have a number of brilliantly written songs.
