  1. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Yeah, it’s a Hallmark card. But it’s also honest, and sometimes that’s all you need

  2. 7.0 |   Clash

    At times the new record sounds utterly sublime

  3. 7.0 |   Uncut

    A triumph of assurance and tenderness. Print edition only

  4. 7.0 |   All Music

  11. 5.0 |   PopMatters

  12. 4.0 |   The Guardian

    A few highlights apart (the funky, stop-start Difference; the doleful soul of recent single Drowsy) – it feels leaden and predictable
