  1. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    A very early contender for one of the best albums of 2010

  2. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    It's hard not to be swept along by his ardour and emotion; because the songwriting quality is so high, the tunes have an immediate, instant feel

  3. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    Optimistic and excitable, it’s a step in the right direction, and a delicious teaser for the next Guillemots record

    Read Review

  8. 6.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Lacking the mercurial imagination evident in Guillemots' excellent early singles... it appears to be an attempt to cast a spell over the Radio 2 demographic and it's hard to imagine it failing this aim

    Print edition only

  10. 6.0 |   Rave Magazine

    A likeable batch of tunes, which lack a central character
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Fly Yellow Moon does provide just enough surprises, along with the affirmation of its creator's ostensible talents to warrant its existence

  12. 6.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    In short: this is not life-changing music. It’s day-changing music at best, and we’ve come to expect more

  13. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Print edition only

  14. 5.0 |   NME

    The ‘Ocean Rain’-style title track is a winner, but otherwise you might as well be listening to David Gray

  15. 4.7 |   Pitchfork

    Fly Yellow Moon just can't quite solve that old problem: how to be mushy but not mundane
