"The Emphasis on Spanish guitar and violin suggests the band playing Dylan's Desire, while Holton's singing is pure husky Cohen on "Pour It Out". A mostly first-take policy keeps an intimate, ambient feel." –Uncut

"Go Before You Strip Away My Mind has the whispered vocal style and softly strummed guitar that Leonard Cohen might have used for one of his own songs. The mood lifts now and then - It's About Company is almost chirpy - but mostly Holton, with help from friends such as The Mojave 3's Neil Halstead, specialises in the kind of gentle melancholy that can be comforting, even uplifting."
