As a whole, the record is a persuasive parcel of slick Americana with just enough redneck grit in the oyster. [Mar 2023, p.26]

His latest album triumphs on levels beyond its inimitable Holley-ness.

But it’s also his most substantial and accessible album yet. [Apr 2023, p.18]

Gendel makes it all appear effortless - as usual. [Apr 2023, p.26]

Aşk feels like a liberation, bursting out exuberantly in all directions as they boldly rework a set of ancient Turkish folk tunes with characteristic invention. [Apr 2023, p.23]

The highlights are splendid: a brass-embellished "Red Hill Mining Town", a languid piano-led "Beautiful Day", a near-calypso "Miracle of Joey Ramone". [Apr 2023, p.38]

Taken From Life offer[s] a fascinating new perspective on the collaboration. ... But the real find on this new disc, almost justifying the box on its own, is "Look Up Again." ... It's further testament to the strength of this collaboration, amply bolstered by live performances of Bacharach and Costello songs old and new on disc three and four. [Apr 2023, p.44]
