  1. Q Magazine

    Rain revisits familiar Jackson themes of romantic disappointment and despair at the modern world with a pared-back immediacy that showcases his craftmanship to the full. [Feb 2008, p.96]
  2. NOW Magazine
    60
    Fans won’t be let down by this latest collection of accomplished and almost too-smart songwriting that borrows from the classic sensibilities of piano-based jazz.

    Versatile but erratic, then, though Joe's emotional honesty is never in doubt.
