    • 60 Critic Score
    Here, he is still the anthem addict of old, but there are softer, subtler electronic textures and a real sense of reflection. [Nov 2005, p.112]

    Closer in quality to [his] five immeasurably influential '70s standard-bearers than anything from Wonder's '80s or '90s catalogue. [Dec 2005, p.102]

    The band use trad tools... and trad tricks... But there's nothing trad about their cock-your-head tunings and lose-your-balance rhythms. [Dec 2005, p.100]
    • Mojo
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score

    As Is Now may be his finest and most consistent record since 1993's Wild Wood; possibly even since the days of The Jam. [Nov 2005, p.100]
    • Mojo
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score

    • 83 Metascore

    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
