"Yet another marvellous album from this supremely talented musician..."

Maverick (5*)

"You don't have to be dead, or even on the slippery slope, to appreciate that it's a rather beautiful thing."

The Independent (Outstanding)

"... it works, thanks to his bleak wit, his ability to match thoughtful lyrics against varied, mostly blues-based settings and help from special guests."

The Guardian (4*)

"A big-hearted album..."

Uncut (8/10)

"It is punchy, pithy stuff, sometimes laugh-out-loud funny... Wainwright is a master of ironic pathos."

The Daily Telegraph (4*)

"Loudon cuts to the bone uniquely, employing wry wit and realist detail, eschewing romantic platitudes and poesy."

R2 (4*)

"Nobody looks more unflichingly and amusingly into the eye of the real issues than Loudon."
