    With Shawn, Mendes has crafted an album of sustained confessional intimacy, one that continually invites you to listen closely.

    The wonderful ‘Isn’t That Enough’ recalls Neil Young’s ‘Harvest’ – it’s followed, aptly, by ‘Heart Of Gold’ – and these songs carry within them a quietly pervasive sense of direction, as though the album itself became a means of continuation. There are moments of real melodic distinction, too.

    Mendes has, five albums into his career, managed to carve out a sound that really suits him. Whether it’s mourning the loss of a childhood friend on the 1970s-inspired soft-rock ballad “Heart of Gold” or closing the album with a gentle cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” Mendes is fully in his element here.
