"They've always confronted sadness with beauty and it's a tactic that continues to serve them well here. There might be more anger, darkness and politics on this album but Giants Of All Sizes shows they are still fundamentally one of the best bands around at offering consolation and comfort when the surrounding turbulence threatens to get too much".

"The aptly named Giants of All Sizes draws from every era of the group, and lands somewhere between the widescreen dynamics of their Mercury Prize-short-listed debut, the workmanlike grandiosity of Seldom Seen Kid, and the aching melancholy of The Take Off and Landing of Everything".

"Musically, Giants of All Sizes is richer and stranger than anything they've released since their commercial breakthrough. Even when it finally settles back into more comfortable lyrical terrain - My Trouble's hymning of cosy domesticity, On Deronda Street's paean to parenthood - the music strays beyond their usual comfort zone: ragged and underpinned by glitchy electronic beats. It suits them out there".

"Det var i 2011, da gruppen var aktuel med mesterværket 'Build a Rocket Boys!' og scorede seks af seks mulige stjerner i Jyllands-Posten ... Siden blev Elbow en smule mindre relevante, og da forsanger Guy Garvey forsøgte sig som soloartist, blev det decideret kedeligt ... Nu er Elbow tilbage. Med gode sange og - ikke mindre væsentligt - en lyd, der virker mindre poleret, end det var tilfældet på det forrige, noget middelmådige udspil 'Little Fictions' (2017)".
