    Excellent album. 14 tracks of brilliance and craftmanship. The two extra songs in the "deluxe" version don't add much to the album on the contrary. As usual, great story telling but also more variation than on previous albums. One of his best!

    The album is most revealing when Knopfler bares autobiographical teeth. [Jan 2019, p.87]

    On an album with 14 songs, there’s certainly some filler (see the sleepy “When You Leave”), but for the most part, Knopfler’s blues-roots blend, infused here with a fresh dose of jazz and funk) remains sturdy.

    The pace down Mark Knopfler's latest road is steady and unruffled, like a 72-minute walk around a familiar locale--reassuring but rather lacking in excitement. [Dec 2018, p.87]
