  1. 8.5 |   The Quietus

    This is here, now and marvellously tuned-in. There are few modern artists so capable of flitting through time and genre.

  2. 8.0 |   Q

    Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   NME

    An extraordinarily strong collection of music, with some sussed sonic touches that suggest Brown is striving for an indie-pop appropriation of what Timbaland routinely does to R&B records.

  5. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    A surprisingly engaging record that highlights Ian Brown as an underrated songwriter and arranger

  6. 7.0 |   The List

    Reaffirms Brown’s solo ability with confidence and soul

  7. 7.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Better than you'd think.
    Read Review

  8. 6.0 |   The Independent

    Loping psychedelic-techno-dub grooves expressing Brown's social and political musings with no great urgency or potency, albeit pleasantly enough.

  9. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    You listen to it struggling to think of anyone else who would do this. And perhaps that's the secret of the most mysterious continuing success story in rock.

  10. 6.0 |   Clash

    Ian Brown’s solo career now outstrips The Stone Roses in volume if not in importance, but he has certainly done it all his way

  11. 6.0 |   Uncut

    … follows an idiosyncratic path in keeping with My Way’s title

  12. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    A decent record from a decent bloke, but I'm still not sure where he's at. All things considered, no need for the long face.

  13. 4.0 |   Daily Telegraph

    Another triumph of belief over ability
    Read Review

  14. 4.0 |   The Sunday Times

    His insistence on rhyming couplets means you listen to his lyrics not for insight … Sonically, there are more signs of life
    Read Review

  15. 2.0 |   The Times

    Mindful that, after all these years, he can carry a tune as well as custard in an onion bag, Brown has circumvented the problem by not writing any.
