  2. 8.0 |   Evening Standard

    Exquisitely judged
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    A terrific album, worthy of one of rock’s founding fathers
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   Mojo

    The guitarist has made the best and most honest of his outside raids

  5. 8.0 |   The Arts Desk

    Warm, lived-in, at ease with itself
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   Q

    Seriously, what's not to like. Print edition only

  7. 8.0 |   All Music

    It's a winningly low-key record, where the atmosphere matters more than the songs, yet Richards doesn't neglect writing tunes this time around
    Read Review

  8. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    It has a satisfyingly gritty texture, more stripped back than a Stones album, and reveals a surprising amount of vulnerable feeling underneath the gunslinger swagger
    Read Review

  9. 8.0 |   Gig Soup

    Full of dirty, gritty rhythm and blues riffs. It’s real, it’s edgy it’s raw
    Read Review

  10. 8.0 |   NME

    It’s a masterfully messy mash-up, yet the contemporary grime and gravel caking ‘Crosseyed Heart’ is quintessentially Keef
    Read Review

  11. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Meticulously crafted yet loose-limbed, Crosseyed Heart sounds neither like an old man’s record nor a placeholder for the next Stones album
    Read Review

  12. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Whilst it occasionally sounds pedestrian - ‘Something for Nothing’ and ‘Suspicious’ both fail to really take off - this is a record with no shortage of genuine depth
    Read Review

  13. 7.0 |   Uncut

    His humour and his soul are sympathetically served here. Print edition only

  14. 7.0 |   The Music

    Richards is defiantly himself and surprisingly on form on Crosseyed Heart
    Read Review

  15. 7.0 |   Slant Magazine

    His low, craggly growl suits the rock songs well, and he manages perhaps the tenderest vocal performance of his career on the reggae-infused “Love Overdue”
    Read Review

  16. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Crosseyed Heart is the sound of Richards following his pleasure wherever it leads
    Read Review

  17. 6.7 |   Consequence Of Sound

    There’s a tighter 10-track LP in there if listeners care to edit for themselves
    Read Review

  18. 6.0 |   The FT

    These days it takes awhile for the Richards motor to warm up
    Read Review

  19. 6.0 |   The Observer

    Heartstopper and the standout Trouble suggest he hasn’t forgotten how to write killer riffs when the mood takes him
    Read Review

  20. 6.0 |   Spectrum Culture

    Richards can casually toss off Stonesian title hooks until he’s 100
