"Shaped by soaring guitar, sweeping melodies and a constant foregrounding of the Spotify star's rich, reverberant voice, Sonder provides a channel for vulnerability in a way that marks Kennedy out as one of the contemporary greats, alongside the likes of Lewis Capaldi and Adele. The result is, of course, crowd-pleasing in the extreme".

"Neither his musical nor his lyrical themes have developed in any groundbreaking manner since his 2018 debut Without Fear: expect to hear the words "heart", "love" and "dream" repeatedly, as well as lyrics like "'I've seen stars reborn in your eyes" as standard ... All of this will matter little to Kennedy's established fan base, but it comes across as a missed opportunity to prove his worth as a songwriter with original ideas rather than a one-trick pony. Kennedy may have pitched an album with a highfalutin title and concept, but he might as well have called it 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.' It will sell millions, regardless".

"The everyman singer-songwriter delivers love, loss and promises of better times to come in gruffly tearful tones".
