UncutMay just be the most concise and potent distillation of Thompson's art to date. [Album of the Month, Sep 2005, p.98]

Recording at home suits him. Even with the over-dubs, this set has the vitality of a live performance, and he clearly feels relaxed enough to take chances with the sometimes elaborate songs, delivering both the expected guitar skills and some fluid, difficult vocals.
-
Even when he turns down the volume, he never tones down the creative intensity.

Q MagazineMostly the results are pleasingly wry and wise. [Sep 2005, p.118]

Rolling StoneA few tracks feel forced... but the majority have the effortless sound of a master who's been at it for four decades. [11 Aug 2005, p.70]
-
Bogs down in stillborn ballads, vague metaphors, and fusty arrangements that sound too Olde English, even for him.
-
This album is difficult, complicated, pretentious, infuriating, inconsistent, and asks more questions then it answers.
