    This one hits the mark more confidently, with all the earthiness she once brought as foil to John Martyn's aerier levitations. [Apr 2014, p.57]

    Life is rarely more tellingly captured in music. [May 2014, p.89]

    This intriguing if uneven set is a vast improvement on her last solo release 13 years ago.

    While Martyn's voice has dropped an octave and lost a few notes along the way, that merely adds to the beaten and beating heart of these songs. [Jun 2014, p.114]
  5. Uncut

    Martyn's voice has taken a few knocks, but the weathered quality adds character. [May 2014, p.77]
