    Solid and stolid live album from glam punker turned roots rocker.
  2. Uncut

    Odds and sods, then, but not without appeal. [Jan 2008, p.101]

    On Your Sleeve acts only as a fine stopgap until Malin’s next release proper. This late October disc still plays as more treat than trick for his loyal fanbase.
  5. Rolling Stone
    50
    There are some highlights--an electro update of the Stones' 'Sway' and a sweet harmony-laden take on Neil Young's 'Looking for a Love'--but other tunes feel too heavy for Malin's reedy voice.
  6. Drowned In Sound
    40
    An album as close to a dictionary-standard definition of the word mediocre as there is likely to be in the whole of 2008.
