"How do you follow a debut that was the UK's third-biggest-selling album of 2014? In the case of Hertford's George Ezra, fresh of face and grizzled of voice, you head to Barcelona with a guitar for a month, eschewing glitzy hotels for an Airbnb owned by the Tamara of the title, and write 11 more songs that don't mess with the winning singer-songwriter formula of Wanted on Voyage ... Staying at Tamara's defining mood is one of unchallenging, and unflinching, politeness. It will doubtless be huge".

"Four years ago, George Ezra scored the UK's third highest-selling record of the year: his debut `Wanted On Voyage' was topped only by the stadium-filling anthems of Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith ... Ultimately, it's this blend of new-found maturity and crowd-pleasing choruses that transform Ezra's second offering into the perfect progression from the sound of his debut".

"With his optimistic baritone, Ezra has the boyish gravitas of a youth pastor, and as artless as his lyrics are, his hooks stick firm in the mind. These are songs destined to soundtrack supermarket adverts extolling the convivial virtues of barbecuing. They stand up to scrutiny about as well as a cheap sausage, but slip down just as easily".
