    Like a small but poignant work of cinema, Always Been rewards close listening to every note.

    Production from The War On Drugs' Adam Granduciel an layered, liquid backing from his bandmates makes the record soar and swoon, delivering the cracked grandeur these songs for the "overwhelmed and overtired" demand. [May 2025, p.105]

    It may not be the good-time party atmosphere that The Hold Steady can provide, but Always Been is probably Craig Finn’s finest solo album to date – it’s almost like a novel crammed into a conventional album.
