  1. 8.0 |   Mojo

    May not be the absolute best of Mike Scott's best, but it's well within touching distance. Print edition only

  2. 8.0 |   Uncut

    An album of passion, wit and spirituality that, like its title, invites us not only to evolve, but to revel in our evolution. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    It’s astonishing how much ground gets covered on Good Luck, Seeker. Sure, not every track is likely to resonate with every listener, but that’s all part of the charm: it’s a remarkable achievement that sits near, if not at, the top of the band’s entire catalogue

  4. 8.0 |   XS Noize

    You can never be bored with Scott at the helm of a release; his enthusiasm for music and its various iterations makes any work from the Waterboys enticing. Yet again with Good Luck, Seeker the Waterboys add a worthy new addition to their esteemed and now legendary discography

  6. 6.0 |   All Music

    Good Luck, Seeker is not one of the great Waterboys albums, but it is an adventurous one with enough standouts and strange magic to go around

  7. 6.0 |   American Songwriter

    This then is a tale of two albums or, more specifically, two sides of the same one. The first is classic Scott. It’s where he successfully dips into a variety of musical guises, expressing himself in songs to learn and sing. Part two is for hardcore Scott lovers only

  8. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    Even the more bloated moments are accomplished and entertaining. You can accuse Mike Scott and the Waterboys of many things, but you certainly can’t accuse them of being boring
