Critical reception

Music critic Andrew Mueller wrote in his BBC review of the album "West and Phelps are a natural, effortless pairing... Phelps’ parts lend the songs a depth—in many meanings of the word—somewhat lacking from their original incarnations... If Magnetic Skyline should prove a one-off, it’ll be no less enduringly treasurable. It would be a shame, however, if its creators did not pursue this partnership further." [1]
