    There’s more world-weariness on other songs such as Sea of Words (“You didn’t make time for love”) and Sonny (“We’ve got a long way to go”), but it’s worn lightly, thanks to Old Magick’s acoustic warmth.

    It's pleasing too, this time, to hear Adams singing unadorned and less accompanied; it lets the melody run uncluttered and those brilliant lyrics step forward. [Apr 2016, p.101]

    Altogether an effective cross between the less gloomy range of '70s singer/songwriters and acerbic British tunesmiths like Paul Heaton and Robyn Hitchcock, the Cambridge, England native's style feels at once sentimental and pointed, a combination that charms.

    It's a typically sharp uppercut from the former lynchpin of The Broken Family Band and Singing Adams. [Apr 2016, p.67]

    Ideas reaches out rather more, while French Drop is a sleight-of-hand piece that works on several levels.
