Sep 7, 2016If Bowie gave Hunter the confidence to steer Mott through the hits that started with Honaloochie Boogie and opened up his solo career, the trials and tribulations of the subsequent 42 years have put him in a solid position to dish out sage advice and put cockier elements in their place, which he does on the opening That’s When The Trouble Starts and closing Long Time.

Sep 7, 2016Though he has many glorious accomplishments, with this album, Ian Hunter proves he is still incredibly active. As well as a man capable of taking his own advice.

Q MagazineSep 7, 2016[Dandy is] not even the best thing here, as Fingers Crossed continues Hunter's chain of excellent 21st-century albums. [Oct 2016, p.107]
-
MojoSep 7, 2016Fingers Crossed marks another welcome return. [Oct 2016, p.98]
-
Sep 13, 2016Though You Can’t Live In The Past beautifully sums up his attitude and ethos, Fingers Crossed will be a worthy cherry to top the colossal, career-encompassing Stranded In Reality set when it lands soon.

UncutSep 23, 2016"Dandy," a fond-but-smart homage to Bowie that channels the spirit of "All The Young Dudes" with unashamed nostalgia. It's the standout track on his first album of new songs in six years--but there's plenty else here that's worth hearing, too. [Nov 2016, p.31]
-
Dec 12, 2016Hunter works within his limits, rocking just hard enough to seem vital and, best of all, his songs remain a thing of wonder: careful and clever, the work of a singer/songwriter who values idiosyncrasy over eccentricity.
