"Four albums in, Lateness of Dancers reveals the arrived-at maturity in Taylor's songwriting, and his ability to convey, in the first-person narratives of his protagonists, a way through the complex notions and pain of living in the world by embracing them on their own terms, with no attempt at escape. The songs, arrangements, and Taylor's and Hirsch's deft production are all rimmed with -- not drenched in -- light. Taken together, they underscore the existential grit and elemental spirituality that illustrate Hiss Golden Messenger's best work".

"Vurdering: A-" - "Lateness of Dancers sees Taylor coming back to various themes from his previous work. Songs like highlight "Mahogany Dread" take on apocalyptic imagery, like "The dead are here, they never go away," while others, like "Black Dog Wind (Rose of Roses)", find him again taking in the geography: "We gotta cross that river with that black dog wind." Like he did with Poor Moon and Haw, Taylor reworks Bad Debt material for the new album. Here, he takes closer "Drum" and spruces it up. On Bad Debt, the song's ramshackle recording made it breathlessly immediate, with Taylor's call to "take the good news, spirit it away" like a dinner table request. Lateness of Dancers` version, with its exuberant fiddle and backing vocals, give the song a joyful, triumphant shine".

"Lateness of Dancers er deres femte plade, og den er ganske enkelt skidegod. Lyden af fremtiden er det grangiveligt ikke, men sangene lyder, som om de altid har eksisteret. Fortællingerne vikles ud med livslangsommelig tænksomhed, farfisaorglet blævrer vederkvægende, og samspillet falder lige så naturligt som når træer springer ud om foråret. »Alright. Feel it,« mumler Taylor, inden en klaversolo transporterer tankerne hen til John Wesley Harding (Bob Dylan 1967). Mens »I'm A Raven (Shake Children)« med det brede, effektive riffer basal stamcellerock".
