  1. 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.
  2. Hot Press
    60
    Solid and stolid live album from glam punker turned roots rocker.
  3. PopMatters
    50
    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. Uncut
    60
    Odds and sods, then, but not without appeal. [Jan 2008, p.101]
