    Intriguing album. ... Lyrically, the prevailing atmosphere is reflective. [Jun 2017, p.28]

    Across nine tracks both men stamp their respective identities on the album, with mutual admiration and respect echoing through every bar. The occasional Kinksian flourish sneaks through the speakers, most notably when Dave sounds uncannily like his elder sibling on King Of Diamonds, but in the main this is a generations-spanning love letter written in familial blood.

    The father-and-son combination is satisfyingly unpredictable, with a fresh, non-rock approach to some of the rhythms and unexpected shifts in style. [Jun 2017, p.86]

    [Dave Davies is] mostly restrained here, content to strum as he and Russ sing together. [No. 142, p.54]
