Slant Magazine
Blunt’s writing often juxtaposes love with death.

Sputnik Music
Really just take out the few great songs on the record and it’d be one hell of an EP. But whoever’s idea to make a full length album is an idiot.

Music OMH
Unfortunately Back to Bedlam suffers from an entrenched lyrical laziness, a terminal inanity.
-
Adrian Denning
All in all, I'm declaring this album a '6' and a work by an artist I'd like to see grow.
-
All Music
He infuses the listener -- in order -- with rainy-day hope, the wistful comfort of unattainable love, and finally, world-weary resignation.
-
This Must Be Pop
The first word James Blunt sings on his album is “beautiful” and it is a very good description of the album as a whole.
-
Laut
A sensitive young Englishman who melts the hearts of his listeners.
-
Indie London
It is a masterful debut and one which you mustn't allow to pass you by.
-
Rock n World
The music Blunt is making does really deserve and warrant the hype surrounding him.

Inside Pulse
James Blunt is new, he’s flawless (for what he does) and he’s almost certain to get you laid.
