    I love this album. Oh it is amazing. I love his voice. When he was in Scissor Sisters, i felt that he seemed to gimmicky however, listening to this project, this really shows off his talents. Shears has definitely got himself a new fan!

    He's retained much of his fizz, but his new, relatively thoughtful, air means that the piano-led The Bruiser exudes a heap of rue and regret, while the autobiographical Mississippi Delta toasts a bright new future in a bright new place, something this album cements. [Oct 2018, p.116]

    This is a fitting debut for a man who to many needs no introduction.

    There are nods to Scissor Sisters with some honky-tonk disco and references to the demi-monde. But there are also extraordinary tracks of looped beats and grainy heartbreak. [Oct 2018, p.84]
