"Overall, this is another quality entry into Thompson's bulging yet impressive discography. It's one that lets us explore the darkest recesses of his diary while composing tense, emotionally spellbinding music reflecting those feelings. At the same time he displays a talent for snaking, occasionally wordy songwriting and gripping lead guitar, both instantly identifiable as his".

"All the songs on '13 Rivers' are held together by Thompson's singing and playing, making for one of his finest albums to date. The stripped back feel on the music and sound works a treat".

"13 Rivers (...) is a powerful, intelligent, multi-faceted and beautifully performed selection of consistently strong pieces. It's also a ton of fun and a genuine high point in Thompson's career; a record that should be chewed on and discussed for many years to come".

""O Cinderella" has that wonderfully fluid, whirling electric folk guitar first heard on Fairport Convention's classic "Liege And Lief"; and "The Storm Won't Come" has enough melodramatic gloom to give Nick Cave a run for his money. Driven along by a renewed sense of urgency and purpose, this may be Richard Thompson's most creative album in decades".

"After his spate of acoustic retrospectives, [Thompson] launches into full band mode and one dynamic blast of that exhilarating electric guitar and you're dancing on the ceiling; it's like a firework display when he lets rip. Relentless drums, formidable melodies, hypnotic choruses and sinister themes ... Dear Lord, he even sounds like Leonard Cohen at one point! Michael Jerome, Taras Prodaniuk and Bobby Eichorn add texture to the party, but this is Thompson's show, still venomous after all these years".
