  1. 8.5 |   FasterLouder

    Heart wrenching and stunning even though it most probably could have been bettered by some editing or additional input from the outside world
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   Uncut

    An arresting journey from emotional trials to aural pleasure. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   Q

    Hard to believe that McMorrow only wrote his first song four years ago. Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   Mojo

    His high, hoarse timbre is used to magnificent effect. Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   Evening Standard

    This Old Dark Machine, the first single, is a sappy pop song that rather casts McMorrow as the bastard son of Mumford. The rest reeks of promise

  6. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Stands as a great addition to the new folk/bluegrass explosion currently going on, and it should have some staying power in 2011

  7. 7.0 |   Rave Magazine

    While generally maintaining a solemn ambience, there are moments of energetic playfulness that save the album from being solely a purge of emotion from McMorrow

  8. 7.0 |   Slant Magazine

    Treads the comfortable, well-worn path of a confessional songwriter in the vein of Iron & Wine, Sufjan Stevens, and Damien Rice

  9. 7.0 |   DIY

    There's no other way to convey how great 'We Don't Eat' is, other than by saying IT'S UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME

  10. 7.0 |   Entertainment.ie

    Always pleasant and, every now and then, absolutely beautiful.

  11. 6.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    That his debut is shrouded in vaporous vocals tells us everything about the here and now and little about him
