  1. 6.0 |   The Independent

    He’s essentially a classic pop singer-songwriter in the stalwart British style of McCartney and Elton John

  2. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    A reliable collection of balladry and harmony-flooded pop songs
    Read Review

  3. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    Barlow’s command of melody is as strong as ever, especially on the lovely God, but there’s not enough of his own personality in the music

  4. 5.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    There’s flashes of very skilled songwriting, but there’s also the cynical, calculated feel of a record built with a certain commercial targets in mind

  5. 4.0 |   Time Out

    Even in the album’s more exciting moments, Gary sounds a little lonely. It’s hard not to yearn for the ‘ooh’s and ‘aah’s of Robbie and the gang

  6. 4.0 |   The Guardian

    When Gary Barlow actually has something to say, it turns out he can say it rather eloquently. That he usually doesn't is Since I Saw You Last's big problem

  7. 4.0 |   The Arts Desk

    There is something of Paul McCartney about Barlow's work and persona, the niceness and smiley opaque frontage, but this album shows none of McCartney's occasional sense of adventure and is the worse for it

  8. 4.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Gary’s safety-first slump into a ballad-ageddon of platitudes is even cheesier than his eyebrow-and-stubble sex-face on the tastefully black-and-white sleeve
    Read Review

  9. 2.0 |   The Observer

    Reference points include ... banjo-virulent arena folk in the exhausted Mumford vein as well as the tritest and most insipid of musical theatre showtunes
