Rolling Stone no.967, p.84
Uncut p.108

Rolling Stone gave the album 3 stars out of 5 and noted:[4] "[F]ull of quiet lyricism and Nick Drake beauty..." Uncut (p. 108) gave 4 stars out of 5 and said: "Using acoustic guitar, piano and vocals, he delivers 14 sweetly somber neo-folk tunes that reveal just how subtly persuasive the man's influence really is."
