  1. Mojo
    Mar 19, 2015
    60
    This is impressive, soul-bearing torch-pop, yet despite some bravura vocal performances, Almond's typically declamatory delivery at times, feels rather awkwardly appended to the airlessly slick soundscapes. [Apr 2015, p.91]
  2. Magnet
    Mar 12, 2015

    The duo [Marc Almond and producer Chris Braide] unspools deliciously theatrical (eerily dark) piano etudes and grand, minor-key mini-epics that are the musical equivalent of an Oscar Wilde work. [No. 118, p.53]
  3. The Wire
    Mar 11, 2015
    80
    Almond just made one of his best records, completely out of the blue. [Mar 2015, p.49]
