    They may not turn out to be a Lee & Nancy for the 21st century, but Gentlewoman, Ruby Man is a massively enjoyable listen and is hopefully only the prelude to more work between the pair.

    They need to do this again. [Mar 2017, p.112]

    This covers collection moves with mysterious grace. [Feb 2017, p.90]

    Gentlewoman, Ruby Man is an album of an unerringly high standard.

    Morrissey's rather affectless delivery drains any celebratory urge from "Grease." But "Sunday Morning" is a triumph. [Feb 2017, p.33]

    With the exception of James Blake’s “Colour of Anything,” which here sounds like an outtake from the Virgin Suicides soundtrack, Morrissey and White fare better with the more recent material than with the old.

    Part of the problem lies in the wispiness of both White and Morrissey. Neither vocalist is a strong presence, so their voices wind up not as the focal point on the record but as an element in the tapestry.

    This record tames its chosen songs, moulding them into softer and smoother beasts, and producing altogether sanitised interpretations.

    His light, understated tenor blends well with her piquant tone on the blithe, buttoned-down yacht-rock grooves he creates for Little Wings’ “Look At What The Light Did Now” and Frank Ocean’s “Thinking Bout You”; but an affectless version of Barry Gibb’s “Grease” is less successful.
