"Relocating from London to his grandfather's old house in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands in 2014 appears to have had a rejuvenating effect on Edwyn Collins. Not only has he built a new studio there, and at the suggestion of his wife, Grace Maxwellcorr, has revisited lyrics he had written before his stroke in 2005 but never previously used. The resulting album - Collins's ninth solo effort - is a joy, brimming with ideas, but light of touch".

"In an album which gleefully mixes and matches textures drawn from Northern soul (In The Morning), surf music (I Guess We Were Young), krautrock (I Want You), punk (Outside), acoustic folk (It All Makes Sense To Me) and electro-squelch (Glasgow To London), Collins still only permits himself to look over his shoulder if he does so with fondness and/or amusement".
