Reception
The album received a four-star rating from Record Collector, whose reviewer David Pollock stated, "All of this music is a blast, an affecting display of the emotional textures which Collins has always dealt in so confidently, regardless of his health issues," [11] and Uncut writer Alastair McKay, who opined, "Musically, the tunes blend pop stickiness with sonic experimentation, but there is a strong sense of place." [1]
In a four-star review for the Guardian, Phil Mongredien stated, "Indeed, his lyrics are equally thoughtful and thought-provoking throughout, the musicianship sensitive and never seizing the spotlight from his still distinctive baritone." [9] Also rating it four stars, Neil McCormick of the Telegraph referred to it as "a gentle album of life-enhancing positivity." [12] God Is in the TV gave the album a rating of eight, describing it as "an album that shows where he's at at this point in his career, and the sense that he is content." [8]
Robin Murray of Clash also assigned it a rating of eight, opining "Confident throughout, there's a sense of Edwyn matching his incredible wealth of experience to the joy of music-making." [7] Tim Sendra, writing for AllMusic, called it one of "Edwyn's best work." [6] John Murphy, in a four-star review for MusicOMH , referred to it as "a collection of 11 instantly likeable songs that, from the title onwards, seem to touch on communication issues, growing old and lessons that life can teach you."
