"There's a bittersweet streak to The Knowledge that's not sad but rather reassuring, as it adds feeling to Squeeze's sophisticated craft. This warm, soulful undercurrent, along with the wry sense of humor, elevates The Knowledge, turning it into a masterly latter-day work".

"While Squeeze's 15th album might not directly reference the titular rite, the sense of place, of being part of the "preposterously complex tangle of veins and capillaries" that makes up London is woven through it. To Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford, that torturous landscape is home, and they're on hand to guide us through it, whether the stops along the way are physical - "By the river bend in the city/that's where I call home" (Every Story) - temporal, or emotional".

"After the underachieving Domino killed off Squeeze's career for a second time, few believed Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook would ever work together again, never mind fashion a new album as credible as 2015's long-awaited comeback Cradle To The Grave, the title track of which would lend its name to the Danny Baker and Jeff Pope-penned sitcom of the same name. Arguably superior, its confident follow-up The Knowledge is again enriched with songs relating to Difford and Tilbrook's old stamping grounds".
