The album has so far been well received by critics. Simon Gage of The Daily Express gave the album a positive review stating, "This album couldn’t be a better showcase, mixing classic tracks with contemporary material such as Sting’s "Fields Of Gold" and Leonard Cohen’s "Hallelujah". The voice is flawless and the production pure class while the man himself is something of a major dish into the bargain."[1]
