"Det er et dæmpet, folket og nedbarberet af slagsen, med en gennemgående stærkt melankolsk streng i både tekst og stemning. At Hansard på den intense åbner You Will Become har sin tidligere kæreste og musikalske partner, Marketa Irglova, på kor, sætter en tyk streg under dette. Der er tydeligvis ægte hjerteblod hældt i numre som High Hopes og What Are We Gonna Do".

"Hansard's wounded Cat Stevens-esque cadence serves as an excellent bad news delivery system, especially on the sparse piano- and string-laden "The Storm, It's Coming" and the tense, brooding opener "You Will Become," but even the upbeat "Love Don't Leave Me Waiting," with its mid-'70s, blue-eyed soul shuffle and shimmery, Spanish guitar noodling, feels rooted in sleepless, pre-dawn anxiety".
