Paste (magazine) - "[Ron Sexsmith] turns in an effort worth remembering on the intimate closer 'Where Is My Everything,' where he forgoes the bells and whistles of modern country for a moving and simple guitar-and-vocal rendition."14.64112

Rolling Stone (p.72) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "On his first record in six years, this proto-punk icon keeps it terrifically mellow without getting mushy in the head."Spin (p.100) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] soul-drenched, horn-inflected labor of lust....AGE is full of keepers..."Entertainment Weekly (p.136) - "[A] finely honed collection, which is as musically sweet...as it is lyrically venomous." -- Grade: A-Uncut (p.107) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Lowe has transported himself to Memphis and Nashville to create a set of songs reminiscent of such dignitaries as Al Green, Joe South, Glen Campbell and possibly even Dean Martin."CMJ (p.46) - "[H]is raspy voice is complemented perfectly with soulful horns, country twang and a bit of good ol' fashioned rockabilly."Dirty Linen (p.76) - "In short, he's found a way to orchestrate a carefully crafted version of Americana that's lush while still sounding simple..."13.87101

Rolling Stone (p.77) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "This veteran Brit rocker knows exactly where to put notes, chords and words for maximum satiric effect -- while paying tribute to every kind of classic pop."Spin (p.81) - "[Lowe has been] artistically relevant for more than four decades....[An] affectionate two-CD career summation."Q (Magazine) (p.116) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[The songs] demonstrate Lowe's rare ability to maintain quality and mature with his art. Top drawer."Mojo (Publisher) (p.116) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Several Nick Lowes emerge: the cut-and-paste pop collagist, the roots revivalist, the doyen of middle-aged heartbreak. In the end, though, it's all about his pure, unadulterated gift for songcraft."Blender (Magazine) (p.65) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "These 49-tracks are near-perfect....Lowe tells listeners what they don't want to hear, and makes them love every minute."Record Collector (magazine) (p.98) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] jam-packed collection....It's a refreshing trawl through the hits and near-misses of the glorious catalogue, with some celebrated stop-offs at less celebrated points."10.4873

Entertainment Weekly (p.95) - "[A] dark, Velvet-y set that reads adieu to a strung-out lover...with shimmering guitars and Arthur's ecstatically woozy falsetto." -- Grade: A-Uncut (p.83) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's a compendium of classic vocal styles...and they all speak of wounded emotions."Alternative Press (p.190) - "The 12 songs on this midnight-hued album are driven by hushed acoustic guitar and Arthur's weathered voice....It's the little touches that make DAYDREAM so appealing."Magnet (p.84) - "Arthur is still writing seamlessly melodic, slightly psychedelic tunes, often thickened with atmospheric reverb or distant electronics."CMJ (p.5) - "With lush instrumentals, spacey soundscapes and occasionally brooding vocals, NUCLEAR DAYDREAM is a fitting title..."No Depression (p.101) - "[With a] languorous sound and enigmatic point of view...elevated by melodies far happier than the words....Arthur mysteriously transforms pain into beauty and emptiness into belief..."9.056683

3 stars out of 5 -- "[L]ively and amusing....ARTHUR is at its best during a world tour that takes McAvoy, his granddad and their sleigh from Toronto to the Serengeti."Total Film "[A] tender and upbeat spirit informs the writing and the execution."Los Angeles Times 3 stars out of 5 -- "Animation here is top notch....It does have a secret weapon in its stellar, mostly British voice cast lead by McAvoy who brings a nice sense of sweetness and sincerity to his likeable goofball Arthur."Box Office "What makes ARTHUR sing is that it plays as much like a family comedy as a holiday film."USA Today "[T]his scrappy, smart animated tale can hold its own against the rest of the genre....The script by Peter Baynham and Sarah Smith has plenty of sly jokes for grown-ups."New York Times "[W]ith an avalanche of charm, wit, and enlivening, highly oxygenated performances....[A] fleet, sweet-natured film."Movieline "[A]n endlessly amusing 3D, CG-animated Yuletide romp with lively innovation at every turn and a dream voice cast headed by James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie and Bill Nighy."Hollywood Reporter 3 stars out of 4 -- "[A] worthy addition to the Christmas movie canon. It's funny and good-looking, with an impeccable voice cast of U.K. actors."Washington Post "[It] strikes just the right combination of naughty and nice, reverent and irrelevant, holiday-sweet and Aardman dry." -- Grade: B+A.V. Club "[It's] genuinely sweet, and the complicated relations among Santa's clan are surprisingly believable." -- Grade: B+Entertainment Weekly9.024055
