Evening Standard
Part Fleetwood Mac, part Bat For Lashes, but always their own, slightly weird, slightly skew-whiff, but unashamedly accessible women, Stealing Sheep are on their way

Their voices are great, which helps, but it's the unexpected instrumentation that really seals the deal

The Quietus
There is a sense that Stealing Sheep are musicians first and foremost, as opposed to music geeks who formed a band to flesh out their dreams

The Irish Times
A trio with wild imaginations, darling voices, kooky instrumentation, spooky harmonies, off-kilter hooks and songs that really want to get medieval on your ass

Unashamedly folk-influenced, but much, much broader of palette. It’s their ear for detail that makes them so potentially special

As these three girls skip down the road to either niche stardom or oblivion you do sense that only their second album will properly tell us where their destiny lies

PopMatters
Clearly not a record for curmudgeons or people with OCD. It’s colourful, chaotic, intoxicating, daft, pretty, odd, often enchanting but sometimes too saccharine sweet

There’s no doubt Stealing Sheep have made a good pop record, but it doesn’t feel like a game-changer, maybe that will come next. For now dig around in a suitably varied, inventive and often unique set
