Critic Reviews
Show All-
The Guardian
There's something weirdly insincere about what he does.
-
BBC
It’s full of shallowness masquerading as insight.
-
Uncut
The drawback is Blunt’s warbly, whining, strangled voice, which sounds increasingly like a bad Weird Al Yankovic parody.
-
All Music
..nor will it win over anybody who can't quite get past the garbled, strangled soul affections of his voice, which remains his greatest liability.
-
NME
Improved, actually.
-
Sputnik Music
Blunt has tried a lot of new things on this record, and the experiment has certainly paid off.
-
Slant Magazine
It's about as edgy as an episode of Desperate Housewives.
-
AV Club
He actually aspires to be the weepiest, wimpiest, most blue-soundin' S.O.B. in the galaxy, so who can fault him for succeeding triumphantly?
-
This is Ull
This album is a definite improvement to his last album.
-
Indie London
It’s a shame because we’d been expecting so much more.
-
Girlie Gossip
James Blunt is one of those singers who you either love or hate.
-
Digital Spy
James Blunt underwhelms on new album 'All The Lost Souls', which probably won't please fans or critics alike.
-
Sputnik Music
James Blunt makes the same mistakes and by the end, I just can't hear the music.
-
The Guardian
This is a terrific album.
-
Entertainment Weekly
Mortality is a recurring theme
-
Boston Globe
Refocusing his energies on the '70s and unearthing a measure of depth and ingenuity.
-
Washington Post
The album suffers from a surplus of mild, AM-era love songs too suggestive of '70s singer-songwriters.
-
The National
It fails to elevate this album from a collection of bland, sing-by-numbers ballads.
-
Laut
Even that weepy voice, with which Blunt drives out not a few potential listeners in advance, has remained natural.
-
Express
If anybody ever decides to play one of these songs at my funeral, I’ll be coming back to haunt them.
-
Nostalgia Filter
There's nothing particularly moving in the album, nothing that has any deep meaning.
