"While the collaborative nature and scant length of The Makarrata Project might have some fans wishing for more of a straightforward rock album after so many years away, the band nonetheless stay true to their long-held mission with a focused, purposeful, and culturally relevant return to form".

"The songs veer from some kind of gospel-folk over a piano rumination (Change The Date), winsome atmosphere (Terror Australia) and back-porch balladry (Desert Man, Desert Woman) to brass-punching, rattling rock (Gadigal Land), tense-but-rhythmic groove (First Nation), outright pop (Come On Down) and sunset acoustic sway (Wind In My Head). In them, Midnight Oil's main songwriters, Rob Hirst, Jim Moginie and Peter Garrett, express anger and frustration, hope and connection - historical and contemporary".

"In 2017, Midnight Oil returned from its lengthy hiatus with a vengeance, traversing the globe on The Great Circle Tour, rousing audiences, and raising consciousness along the way. In keeping with that extended effort, and in follow-up to the live content released in the wake of those efforts, Armistice Day, this powerhouse outfit from Down Under has now issued The Makarrata Project, a seven-track mini-LP in collaboration with a number of kindred spirits from their native country ... While The Makarrata Project is, overall, more of an exercise in maintaining rather than innovating, it is nevertheless a work replete with the customary philosophical and musical intelligence the Oils have displayed throughout their history. As a result, in addition to delivering its intended message(s), the most memorable moments whet the appetite for the next full-length album".
