    Ecce Homo registers as strong, wildly creative, focused, and vulnerable. It may be his solo masterpiece.

    It is sad and striking in beautiful waves. [Dec 2024, p.106]

    With lyrics informed by loss and his current post-divorce relationship with a man, at the age of 64, Friday has clearly found himself and made a deeply heartfelt record, most of which is perhaps best heard at club-level volume. [Dec 2024, p.90]

    The result is possibly his best solo album to date. A record that is so sprawling it takes several listens to finally soak in but is well worth the effort.

    Agreeably gruff-voiced, world-weary, Yello-ish electro-ballads dominate, but too many lyrics strain for portentous poetic melodrama, accidentally invoking Father Ted’s “My Lovely Horse” instead. [Nov 2024, p.34]
