  1. 8.0 |   PopMatters

  3. 7.0 |   No Ripcord

    The sounds here hark back to the mellow 70s grooves Rouse explored on albums such as 1972 and Nashville

  4. 7.0 |   Uncut

    Understated maturity and charm. Print edition only

  5. 6.0 |   Q

    Charming if sometimes sugar-sweet and a little too inoffensive. Print edition only

  6. 6.0 |   All Music

    A little more passion in the vocals and songs that are actually about something would have made The Happiness Waltz a triumphant return, instead it feels like backtracking

  7. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Melodic, likeable, if lyrically a little schmaltzy. Print edition only

  8. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    What’s twee and cloying to one set of ears could well sound cosy and heart-warming to the next. If you’re a fan, you’re unlikely to be disappointed
