  1. 8.5 |   BBC

    We Went Riding is James’ second LP after 2006’s The Seven Sleepers Den, and it offers many more colours and tones than his soft, sublime debut

  2. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    Like Gorky's at their best, We Went Riding is upbeat with a sprinkling of melancholy and edges to the left of centre, firing the imagination

  3. 8.0 |   Mojo

    It can only be a matter of time before the world becomes aware of how talented Richard James is. Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Very much a Cardiff community affair - but this is more pop than his earlier dabbles with folk. Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   NME

    Definitely hot to trot

  6. 8.0 |   Culture Deluxe

    Richard James’ latest offering We Went Riding is one of those effortless, breezy, unexpected pleasures that just happened to come wisping into my ears and into my life

  7. 7.0 |   The 405

    Will doubtlessly receive kudos for his attempts to experiment on this album, but as clichés go, ‘if it ain’t broke – don’t fix it’ seems awfully well fitted when it comes to this hugely talented songwriter

  8. 6.0 |   The List

    An amiable reminder of Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci’s folk-pop psychedelia
