"Possibly more famous for his work in Lau, alongside Martin Green and Aidan O'Rourke, Kris Drever is also renowned on the Scottish music scene, and beyond, for his work with John McCusker, Eddi Reader, Kate Rusby and Julie Fowlis. Consequently, a new recording from Drever is always welcome and there is no exception here ... Themes of memory, resilience, fragility, and longing filter through the album, ensuring a somewhat ephemeral and reflective recording. Drever's voice and delivery is as idiosyncratic and rich as ever. His sincere Scottish brogue is never mannered, always effortlessly natural. Where The World Is Thin is a charming album. Confident and mature in its content, and beautifully performed. A fine treat as the nights draw in".

"This album embraces the aged introspection, a deep passion, and a heart with Midlothian soul from Scottish folks who, long ago, pledged to sing an always melodic and very truthful song".

"An outstanding guitarist, assured singer and an inspirational songwriter and arranger of unerring vision and subtlety, Kris Drever's talents reach far beyond his celebrated role as a third of Lau ... Even with his more inward looking material, Drever's instinct for a killer chorus is unmatched".

"The title-track is a meditation on creativity, immortality, the thin places where life meets death and time meets what survives time, while the story of von Reuter's scuttling of his own fleet in 'Scapa Flow 1919' is a concise history-cum-seafaring ballad told from the point of view of one of the nameless crew. Drever is in fine voice throughout, warm and elegiac, with plenty of light and shade in the musical settings, together making for a strong addition to his catalogue".
