    Both haunting and harrowing in equal measure, The Love Still Held Me Near finds the bond that connects those emphatic emotions clearly and convincingly.

    The track list moves like grief itself, with a glimmer of hope before plunging back into darkness and hurt. But, as Green does so well, each track is buoyed by his smooth voice, full of emotion, and poetic lyrics that can somehow perfectly capture every sentiment.

    A passionate but ultimately rather clean record of angst-filled ballads. [May 2023, p.27]

    Alas, as with other City and Colour albums, this one suffers from moments of terminal blandness.
