"Gripping outtakes from 1995 ... Previously unheard demos from the singer-songwriter's third album throw her extraordinary lyrics into dramatic relief".

"Min betagelse af PJ Harvey bare vokser og vokser, efterhånden som jeg dykker ned i den fortløbende genudgivelse af hendes storartede bagkatalog ... Det er ellers ikke fordi To Bring You My Love er noget udpræget midtsøgende eller publikumspleasende bekendtskab. Det er råt og flosset i såvel bogstavelig som poetiske forstand - et indtryk, som ikke er mindre udtalt på demoerne (...) blandt andet på 'C'Mon Billy', 'The Dancer' og 'Send His Love To Me', som alle står stærkt i de nøgne demo-udgaver ... Et af halvfemsernes hovedværker, simpelthen".

"Since so much of the album's power resides in its stunning production, this set might be slightly less revelatory than some of Harvey's other demo albums. Nevertheless, die-hard fans will savor the glimpse into her creative process that To Bring You My Love: The Demos provides".

"Polly Jean Harvey's masterpiece minus the varnish".

"Polly Harvey's third album, first heard in 1995, remains her best selling ... This 25th anniversary release of demos, unfussily presented in the same running order as the original album, doesn't especially reveal any fresh nuances to the likes of "C'mon Billy", "Down By The Water" or "Send Her Love To Me". They do, however, train the focus on the oft-overlooked soulfulness of Harvey's voice, the bare-boned recordings highlighting the drama and vulnerability she brings to almost everything she touches".
