"Mason doesn't share the ascetic's fear of a sweetly turned chorus and there's already enough emotional depth to his storytelling without overplaying his ragged edges".

"Fine sange som åbneren What Is This, Show Me the Way To Go Home og Talk Me Down forløses i en produktion, som er en sand fornøjelse.Her mødes en sparsom opsætning af akustiske instrumenter med programmerede trommer og lejlighedsvist diskrete keyboards. Mason besidder en autoritativ vokal".

"All in, Carry On is a solid, if rarely remarkable work, showcasing an artist maturing at his own pace, and sounding content and comfortable in his form. Though it does shed some of the scrappy idealism that first brought him to our attention it's been replaced with an assurity and a musical confidence that should see Willy Mason a fixture of the landscape for a long time to come".

"Though recorded with Kylie and Hot Chip producer Dan Carey in South London, it far from marks an attempt at an electro-pop direction ... However, Carey's gallant use of drum boxes and occasional, restrained glitchy sonics - like on the carousing Pickup Truck and undulating Into Tomorrow - round out Mason's sound, bringing a raft of rousing fresh dimensions to his previously straight-up folksy stylings".

"De 11 nye sange på »Carry On« er (...) en fornøjelse på sin egen underspillede facon: Guitaren er i centrum, og omkring dens bløde strenge dannes keyboardteksturer, og trommeprogrammeringer pulserer diskret i kompositionerne, der alle har et let resigneret præg. Ikke mindst på grund af Masons stemme og vers, som kulminerer i sange som »Carry On«, »Restless Fugitive« og »Into Tomorrow«. Og nej, det er ikke sangskrivning, som ændrer verden og musikhistorien, men mindre kan gøre det".
