    On In Circles, with its plangent, Yan Tiersen-style piano, something wonderful happens--a feeling of limitlessness opening up. [Jun 2015, p.89]

    Love Songs for Robots is a thoroughly accomplished album that oozes musicality from every reverb-soaked pore.

    As a satisfying internal logic begins to emerge, it’s clear that Watson has outdone himself on this ambitious and endearingly strange album.

    Love Songs For Robots is ambitious without being overblown, intimate without falling to sentimentality and subtly, delicately lovely.

    It refracts light in multiple, appealing ways. [No. 121, p.61]

    There are moments that remind us that Watson can still work a great melody, but Love Songs For Robots is by no means contains his best work.

    Plenty of bits tug on the heartstrings, but only in the moment. Once that swelling piano ceases or Watson stops singing, the goosebumps disappear.
