  1. 8.0 |   Observer Music Monthly

    The odd jarring note but Bare Bones remains a work of high class, deep feeling and, let's not forget, magical singing.

  2. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    The songs (almost all Peyroux's, in a step away from the covers-artistry she has specialised in) are, if anything, more wistful and still than ever.

  3. 8.0 |   The Sunday Times

    A set of subtle, sophisticated tracks that run the emotional gamut... For this reluctant star, her time in the spotlight isn’t over yet.

  4. 8.0 |   The Times

    She has co-written all the songs and they convincingly run the emotional gamut from simple joy... to the dark drama.

  5. 6.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    While her period stylings elevate her above the average navel-gazing songstress, it's also a little too perfectlypitched at a certain kind of vintage aesthetic.

  6. 4.0 |   Observer Music Monthly

    Her fourth album and the first to be made up entirely of her own material, you wonder why you ever complained about her cover versions.

Latest Reviews

David Byrne  Who Is The Sky

The artist’s new album of bright, bustling pop is positioned as a celebration of reasons to be cheerful. Often its fountain of optimism feels like a firehose of forced positivity Pitchfork

Ed Sheeran  Play

On the enjoyably moreish Play, the ‘culturally Irish’ star sounds as if he’s back on form. Although we’ve only had time for a quick listen The Irish Times

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

This record plays like his shot for glory, and with tracks as hooky and well-constructed as "Mockingjay" or the title track, there's no reason he shouldn't hit the big time All Music
