  1. 9.0 |   musicOMH

    There are bound to be some people that just don't get it. For those that do, you are looking at a sure contender for your album of the year.

  2. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Though he supposedly loathes the singer-songwriter tag, on this evidence Perkins is among the very best we’ve got.

  3. 8.0 |   Observer Music Monthly

    Emerged as the most fragile of troubadours, his pared ditties informed by the untimely deaths of both his parents. Now he's back with a three-piece band and a bolder disposition.

  4. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    An album to quietly sweep you off your feet.

  5. 7.0 |   The Quietus

    The sound of a songwriter growing in stature and scope, and a man staring grief in the eye and emerging with a defiant grin firmly on his face.

  6. 7.0 |   Blender

    The guy’s soul is as old and weird as the U.S.A.

  7. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Likely to wind up on many a critic’s “top ten” list.

  8. 6.7 |   Pitchfork

    The guy's probably got a superb album in him; Dearland, however, isn't it.

  9. 5.0 |   NME

    Clearly has stories to tell of difficult journeys travelled, but unfortunately it comes across as yet another Yank putting out the roadside campfire with dribble from his harmonica.
