  1. 9.0 |   PopMatters

    These songs breathe with life. Timeless, genre-defiant, and endlessly inventive, Architect is as accomplished a debut as any in recent memory

  2. 8.0 |   All Music

    Architect is one of those rare albums that demand to be listened to in one sitting, and it not only sets an awfully high bar for home recordings, it makes for a truly auspicious debut

  3. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    Dreampop, vast choral harmonies, ethereal rock, and shimmering folk meditations, drawing on influences as disparate as Fleet Foxes and Mozart

  5. 8.0 |   Mojo

    An album of imaginatively assembled dreamscapes. Print edition only

  6. 8.0 |   Gig Soup

    One of the most confident debuts of the year. It is a delicate album that creates its own little world of sound, whilst somehow remaining familiar

  7. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    Duncan repeatedly combines church hall harmonies, rustling percussion and multi-tiered instrumentation to create a work that's full of subtlety

  8. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    A compelling document not just of what may be yet to come from Duncan, but a craftsman very capable of creating evocative musical memories right now

  9. 7.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Much like an architect, C Duncan is an artist of creative design, and what he's produced is positively palatial

  10. 7.0 |   Clash

    These are songs for songwriters, beautifully constructed and realised - after a full rotation, it'd be difficult not to fall in love with this album
