  3. 8.0 |   BBC

    It’s a fuzz-folk delight to slot alongside Gerry Rafferty, Elliott Smith, Brendan Benson, Broken Bells and Laurence Arabia’s Chant Darling

  4. 8.0 |   The Fly

    A record that finds Burrows in energised, revitalised form. ‘Sun Comes Up Again’ reveals him as a true songwriting talent

  5. 7.0 |   NME

    If Burrows gifted Razorlight two of their biggest hits (in ‘America’ and ‘Before I Fall To Pieces’), what his former band gave him in return was the platform to bring something far more interesting into the light of day

  6. 7.0 |   The Digital Fix

    An impressive effort from someone who sounds like he's finally allowed to make music the way he likes it and it's a joy to behold

  7. 6.0 |   Clash

    Sharing the pop soul sensibilities of Squeeze with just a dash of Brendan Benson, there’s even a soupçon of harpsichord in there. What’s not to like about these small songs with a big heart?

  8. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    Perhaps 14 tracks is a little overbearing, as the initial momentum eventually trails off. But there are several irresistible numbers along the way

  9. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    At 14 tracks, Sun Comes Up Again can feel like a trudge through the outback of mediocrity rather than an exciting exploration into new territory

  10. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    The multi-instrumentalist's work is deft and pleasing, despite its spoonfuls of utilitarian soft rock

  11. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    There are hints of Razorlight's more considered moments..but for the most part Burrows's soul is more gentle, his melodies more insidious and his voice more wispy.

  12. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    An extremely promising debut, and a warm, breezy and openly-referential antidote to the hordes of cacophonic pretenders taking themselves far too seriously
