  1. 9.1 |   A.V. Club

    Earle has always forged armor out of his scars, and by that token, I’ll Never Get Out is impregnable, yet achingly vulnerable

  5. 8.0 |   The Independent

    Blessed with two apparently contradictory gifts: the ability to animate fictional lives, and a streak of cussed, lefty sincerity that gives bite to his truth-telling.

  6. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    As befits a novelist, the songs are narratives concerned with the big issues. Life, death, that sort of thing. Good record

    [An album] he's done better before. Print edition only
