On my one

"The prevailing impression left by On My One is of a young man desperately grasping in the dark for his musical identity, and coming up with one of the most arrestingly baffling collections of music in recent memory ... On My One is precisely the kind of mistake that pop stars make when they think they're smarter than the system".

"Though not quite as potent as Shangri La, but it constitutes a confident negotiation of the "difficult third album" hurdle".

"There's not an awful lot of imagination in evidence here. Some of the lyrics sound slapdash, while Bugg's major subject - a girlfriend who he has realised he's just not that into anymore - isn't exactly heart-rending stuff".

"I stedet for at få sine indbyggede modsætninger til at gå op i en højere enhed har Jake Bugg overladt til sig selv valgt at løbe i 117 retninger på én gang. Her er alle de stilarter, Bugg har tacklet tidligere plus et par uheldige nye. Den lidt funky hiphopske 'Ain't No Rhyme' skulle gerne ose af gadetroværdighed, men virker bare tomt skrydende. Stemmen, der er så skøn, når det swinger, og noget tyndbenet til andre tider, kommer slemt til kort i 'Livin' Up the Country' ... Hvor debutalbummet 'Jake Bugg' struttede af indlysende talent, var det andet Rick Rubin-producerede album 'Shangrila' lidt mindre oplagt, og her på alle gode gange tre er fortyndingen desværre gennemført".
