  2. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Wilfully abstruse, then, but still one hell of a talent
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   Uncut

    A lush, multi-layered affair. Print review only

  4. 8.0 |   Q

    A bold, wondrous affair, testament to Finn's great knack for grown-up pop. Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Finn sounds hungry again. Print edition only

  6. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    Dizzy Heights stands alongside Finn's many career highlights, including his beloved Split Enz and Crowded House hits

  7. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    As inspiring as anything Finn has produced for a long time
    Read Review

  8. 8.0 |   All Music

    A seamless blend of Finn's longstanding popcraft and latter-day adventure, and it satisfies on both counts
    Read Review

  9. 6.9 |   Pitchfork

    This is not the singer-songwriter album you’d expect from him at this stage in his career, for better or for worse.

  10. 6.0 |   The Observer

    As the album hits its stride it heads squarely into AOR territory, and one or two tracks could have been a good minute shorter
    Read Review

  11. 5.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    It took me several listens to decide that the album was a brave, laudable failure, but the proverbial nail in the coffin comes with the titular second track

  12. 4.0 |   The Irish Times

    Instead of milkman-happy tune after tune, we get Peter Gabriel-esque swirls of fancy and extremely nondescript songs, few of which reference past triumphs
    Read Review

  13. 4.0 |   The Independent

    Neat, diffident guitar fills, cosmic mantra, murmured backing vocals, swathes of strings, instantly forgettable
    Read Review

  14. 4.0 |   PopMatters

    It just seems that Dizzy Heights is just Finn noodling about, unsure of what direction to take, and the whole deal feels painfully laborious.
