May 23, 2024Paul Weller’s electric autumn that began with 22 Dreams effortlessly continues, and this may be the best instalment yet.
-
UncutMay 24, 2024Noel Gallagher, who has been writing with Weller since 22 Dreams, co-pens one of the best songs he’s put his name to in a while: a stomping piece of glammy punk called “Jumble Queen”. .... Elsewhere, Weller’s own songs are also beautifully enhanced by other collaborators. [Jul 2024, p.24]
-
May 23, 2024Weller sounds looser and lighter on 66 than he did in the recent past, a shift that adds warmth and playfulness to his wisdom.
-
May 23, 2024For a man showing signs of slowing down, Paul Weller can seem remarkably like an artist still in the thick of it.
-
May 23, 2024There's a sense throughout of Weller, the inveterate seeker, grasping for something tantalisingly out of reach - and, n doing so, creating a record of recurrent intrigue and frequently sublimity. [Jul 2024, p.93]
-
May 24, 2024It’s fair to say there is nothing groundbreaking on offer, just another set of beautifully constructed and performed songs of soul and meaning.

May 24, 2024Weller peaks with the smouldering Burn Out, underpinned by strings and sublime saxophone. Elsewhere, however, Sleepy Hollow and Nothing are distinctly underwhelming. Overall, then, 66 is solid, rather than exceptional.
