  1. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Not one for those opposed to a 12-minute-long, loose-limbed and, yes, cosmic opening track

  2. 8.0 |   The Independent

    He's finally found the ideal vehicle to indulge his taste for "Cosmic California Music"

  3. 8.0 |   All Music

    The music flows easily, even alluringly, as they jam with no care of when they began or where they will end

  4. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Feels like a mere snapshot of some eternal jam session which might very well still be happening as we speak. Print edition only

  5. 6.0 |   The Observer

    Exploring bluesy grooves at leisure and taking detours into gentle psychedelia or barroom funk

  6. 6.0 |   Q

    The sense of the singer reclaiming a little of himself with these meditative jams is unmistakable. Print edition only

  7. 6.0 |   Mojo

    The opening three tracks blissfully meander for 30 minutes plus. Print edition only

  8. 5.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Regardless of how popular Big Moon Ritual may prove to be for fans of the jam, one can’t help but feel Robinson’s talents as gospel shouting rock ‘n’ roller are being squandered here

Loyle Carner  hopefully!

The sounds are slightly different here than on previous albums and his tentative sojourn into singing is a success because his voice connects as easily as his rapping does Albumism

Lorde  Virgin

Lorde trades in her secrecy and mystique for a tremendously healing, desperately relatable record that cements her mark as her generation’s defining artist Northern Transmissions

Lorde  Virgin

On the uncomfortable paths of the 28-year-old’s fourth album, slam-dunk bangers are substituted with reinvention and restraint surrendered through hushed, reflective, and carnal synth-pop vestiges Paste Magazine
