"Working with Aaron Dessner, the English singer-songwriter trims down his compositions and expands his comfort zone, experimenting with elements of jazz and historical fiction ... Howard winds up not in the realm of the National, but of a weirder Dessner side project like Big Red Machine-the kind that thrives on collaboration. The contributions of outsiders wind up proving how well Howard can hold his own".

"The album as a whole is a sure-fire sonic adventure. Allowing creativity to take the reins, Howard has reinvented himself with his latest instalment through a blend of storytelling and evocative sonic fillers. Now, he is one of the UK's most naturally talented songwriters, with an added sense of style".

"Howard's expansion, both in terms of production and the stories he wishes to tell, creates a cacophonous record with complex, sometimes muddy instrumentation and stark melodies. It's sometimes satisfying and cathartic to dig through the rubble and find a diamond; sometimes too chaotic to try".
