    It might not be essential, but it's not without merit. [Apr 2026, p.80]

    The only issue with Somebody Tried To Sell Me A Bridge is that it’s so long that anyone other than the most devoted Morrison devotee will find it a bit of a slog. At 1 hour 20 minutes and 20 tracks, it could certainly do with some judicious editing.

    The music is at its most interesting when it veers off at a tangent - the snappy organ fuelled Social Climbing Scene and the loping gait of the title track. [Mar 2026, p.104]

    Largely an album of blues covers that isn't terrible just, well, perfunctory. [Apr 2026, p.84]
