"Scottish singer-songwriter Amy Macdonald broke through as a teenager a decade ago, her energetically strummed guitar pop proving to be a consistently big seller - now 29, her fourth album is likely to be her fourth top five release, as a tuneful collection that doesn't mess with the formula ... Existing fans ought to be perfectly satisfied".
"Amy Macdonald has that rare knack of totally inhabiting a song. On one of the standout tracks here, Down By The Water, her commitment and passion are extraordinary, those full-throated but agile vocals recalling early Joan Armatrading or Tracy Chapman.Smartly produced by fellow Scot Cam Blackwood this is Macdonald's strongest album since her 2007 debut".
