    The whole affair has the energy of a younger band, one just starting on its first album rather than an act 30 years old. [No. 99, p.53]

    It's tempting to surmise that the songwriting has improved since the Smash Hits years, but an extra CD of acoustically played hits--shorn of period production--reminds you that they were always this good. [Jun 2013, p.86]

    The third album since the band's 2007's reunion is low on overt politics, but high on autumnal jazz, Bacharach-ian swing, easy-going funk and relaxed charm. [Jun 2013, p.93]

    Perhaps it can be too sweet, too cloying at times, but it's warm and ingratiating, suggesting The Blow Monkeys can ease into a convincing middle age.

    Feels Like A New Morning is an apt title, because verve and a freshly recovered confidence seep from the Blow Monkeys’ eighth studio set.
