    His joy at being reacquainted with his music is obvious right from lively opener One More Time. [Dec 2021, p.74]

    The predominantly Celtic hues of Stewart's 31st album tend towards the cosy and coffee-table, robustly structured rather than wildly inspired. [Jan 2022, p.31]

    The sacred has always sat comfortably with the profane in Rod Stewart's art, and he's holding true to that on The Tears of Hercules, an album that's alternately baffling, absurd, sweet, and endearing.

    A few moments almost save this from moving into the “better luck next time” pile.

    This is a 12-track cringefest on which Stewart celebrates carnal love in between songs about his late father.
