    A spare, transient, restrained thing. Yet it's that restraint that ultimately defines its brilliance; the sound of a more confident, assured artist realising that it might be better to travel slowly than to arrive. [Dec 2025, p.86]

    Highlights like "Hadrian's Wall," "Loon," and the title track are gently mesmerizing, made even more special by Elkington's gorgeous arrangements which were said to be inspired by Ennio Morricone.

    Slender and carefully defined, it’s the work of someone unafraid to take chances – it’s good to have him back.

    The shape and personality of a song are everything, and Elkington's arrangements serve these tracks superbly. [Dec 2025, p.26]

    So much of Daylight Daylight feels this way: majestic enough to fill a theater but contained and domestic.

    A conventional song based offering, but essentially a continuation of the dialogue between Gunn/guitar and luscious underscoring this time more orchestral than electronic. The mood is generally soothing, but shot through with occasional suggestions of disquiet. [Nov 2025, p.53]

    Daylight Daylight flows easily, likeably, languidly — but at times rather forgettably.
