    All in, Unfurl seems a pretty apt name for the album. It’s many layers unfold and wrap themselves around you, like a warm blanket after an invigorating surf.

    Unfurl seems infinitely more meditative, vulnerable, and dare I say, spiritual than Dawn.

    There's a sense of spacious freedom to these dozen songs. ... Gorgeous. [Mar 2019, p.34]

    He writes and sings beautifully; Unfurl is a lovely, understated pop disc. But, for now at least, RY X's material lacks the range of a [Jeff] Buckley set.

    Unfurl is much like RY X’s previous record Dawn, though tinged with moments of evolution. Lined with a rawness that could be sometimes overlooked; it seems to find solace in giving an emotional response to me from its creation.

    More tension in the style of Fumbling Prayer's churchy organ and escalating coda might have widened Unfurl's visceral impact, but as music-for-bedroom goes, Ry X is king. [Mar 2018, p.91]

    RY X is a talented guy with a singular vision, but Unfurl's title is misleading--it’s a little too tentative to have fully done so.
