    It's a welcome return for Car that shows how fun and powerful his music is when it's focused and direct.

    He returns in possession of a gloriously direct set of songs that feel instantly familiar.

    The Breaks is just a pretty good pop album.

    Carr retains enough left-field eccentricities, such as the Casiotone keyboard of I Don't Think I'll Make It, to make The Breaks a true indie-rock gem. [Nov 2014, p.108]

    Perhaps they lack the arty flourishes of elder statesman Damon Albarn's solo work, but these bold, brassy tunes serve to remind that it wasn't only about Union Jacks and DMs back then. [Oct 2014, p.69]
