"MacIntyre's flair for a lyric has rarely been better and it's little surprise that he now spends much of his time penning stories. It's an introspective record and, although there are flashes of the melodic indie-pop Mull Historical Society are known for, it's overall more laid-back".

"'Wakelines' is an album about beginnings. But it's about home, and belonging too.Stories of family and memory form the substance of these songs, as Colin McIntyre explores the boy within the man - dredging the well of himself to bring diamond-bright 'firsts' into the light. Fitting then, that it was recorded at producer Bernard Butler's home in London - and was the first time the two have worked together. There's a real intimacy here, a confessional feeling".

"Combining the lusher approach of his earlier work with the more reflective tone of later records, Wakelines marks the sixth studio LP from Colin MacIntyre's long-tenured indie pop project Mull Historical Society ... Writing with a sentimental gaze was a dominant trait of MacIntyre's even as a young man, and now in middle age, he does so with the authority of a nearly two-decade career and accumulated personal history behind him on this excellent release".
