Jul 25, 2014McGuinness is having a fantastic time on this album, but the try-too-hard attempts at shock value and relatively derivative riffs occasionally detract from what is an otherwise fantastic recontextualization of British alternative rock into older trends.

Jul 7, 2014While it’s often been easy to sum up McGuinness himself with that statement, whether he wants the attention or not Chroma is a forceful enough effort to propel him centre-stage.
-
Jul 21, 2014On Chroma, he's got enough lines in the water that he's bound to get a bite sooner or later.

MojoJul 3, 2014Former Miles Kane sideman McGuinness concocts his fifth solo record with solid powerpop. [Aug 2014, p.96]

Jul 3, 2014All in All is simply lovely. The rest of the album isn't always this good, so perhaps only inconsistency is holding back his rise to pop's higher league.

UncutAug 11, 2014Chroma strikes a largely upbeat mood, producer Dan Carey foregrounding a McGuinness vocal that's more often irksome than endearing amid the skittering rockabilly beats and lively but derivative soundscapes. [Sep 2014, p.75]
