    Nobody Loves You More is a singularly uplifting, life-affirming listen, where joy and despair, love and loss, are irrevocably entwined, and kept afloat by Deal’s unfailing lightness of touch. [Dec 2024, p.82]

    Tucked into a body of work that’s ageless and ever-evolving, the thread of loss and grief that runs through Nobody Loves You More is a good reminder that Kim Deal is not, in fact, immortal, even if her music makes it feel like she is.

    Nobody Loves You More is some of her finest music yet, and while any of these songs would've been a standout with one of her other projects, it's all the sweeter that they're hers alone.

    Kim Deal’s solo debut is sonically wide-reaching yet still intimate, exemplified by one of its best tracks, “Are You Mine”. Pensively dreamy, the tune pairs Lynchian doo-wop with an alt.country twang. .... The title track is a stunner too, all swelling strings and booming brass that brings to mind Scott Walker’s avant-pop. [Dec 2024, p.33]

    Nobody Loves You More is warm and comfortable, well-crafted and well-loved, and further proof that Kim Deal is certified indie rock royalty.

    Nobody Loves You More is the sound of an all-timer breaking vast new ground while holding her head high.

    In Nobody Loves You More, Kim Deal delivers an album that stands both as a tribute to her past and a reassertion of her relevance, it’s an emotional and moving experience.

    Throughout, Deal’s authorial voice remains constant, her mellifluous pop often undercut by gnarlier interference. But there are late-career surprises – none finer than the strings arrangements that arrive on the pristine title track, or the horns that punctuate Coast.

    Combines her strengths with her evergreen knack of embracing the moment into a collection that exudes maturity and class.

    Deal demonstrates an appetite for sonic adventure and an ability to disarm and surprise us on ‘Nobody Loves You More’, even after all these years.

    There’s something freer to the music on Nobody Loves You More, which suits Deal well and has made this record worth the wait.

    Nobody Loves You More has both the versatility and reflective quality of a ‘best of’ compilation, but one that simultaneously hints at there being plenty more highlights to come.

    Her frank storytelling makes “Coast” the most vivid song on Nobody Loves You More, like the account of a beachside outlaw whose levity is its own triumph. The best moments are when Deal slows her pace and stretches out like a daydream, recalling, more than any of her other bands, her sublime cover of Chris Bell’s “You And Your Sister” with This Mortal Coil in 1991.
