  5. 8.0 |   NME

    This sprawling, 16-track album is the sound of a focus-focused artist who is immersed in innovation. There's not a single Cilla Black cover on here

  6. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Four albums in, feels like Marr is finally settled into the business of a solo career. Print edition only

  7. 8.0 |   Mojo

    While tracks like The Whirl, Receiver, Sensory Street and Human are among Marr's most impressive, Fever Dream is too long, uniform and persistent to enjoy in one sitting. Perhaps best, then, to take your time and discover its sparkling delirium in its 4 x 12-inch singles form. Print edition only

  8. 8.0 |   Clash

    Revealing, emotional, powerful and progressive, ‘Fever Dreams Pts 1-4’ is an impressive and committed body of work

  12. 6.8 |   Spectrum Culture

    The material that Marr presents here is very much the same sort of electronic-infused, neo-psychedelic rock that has thus far defined his solo career; Fever Dreams just gives us more of it, and on a grander scale

  13. 6.0 |   DIY

    Moments of greatness are plentiful, but ‘Fever Dreams…’ shines brightest when Marr lets his guitar do the talking
