  1. 8.2 |   The AU Review

    It is definitely not ‘love at first listen’ sort of album, but a steady and ever increasing sort of affection that can only increase with time

  2. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Rather than slicing the Fleet Foxes cucumber too thin, Poor Man adds a whole new flavour. Print edition only

  3. 7.0 |   Uncut

    A record that's primarily dedicated to beauty but with an engagingly playful spirit. Print edition only

  4. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    At times it’s a complete joy and that overrides any concerns anyone should have in thinking Poor Moon the band are nothing more than a faded facsimile of a cherished original

  5. 6.0 |   Prefix

    A pleasant and inoffensive endeavor, it'll do well to keep any Foxes fan satisfied for the remainder of the season. But don't be surprised if boredom sets in by fall
    Read Review

  6. 6.0 |   Q

    It consistently fails to match their parent group's most sublime moments. Print edition only

  7. 6.0 |   Bowlegs

    Some of this may sound like faint praise, but Poor Moon does deserve a hearing and an audience. It makes no great claims to its own importance, but is a skilful collection all the same

  8. 6.0 |   No Ripcord

    The music here is pretty brilliant, but it registers closely with the sound of Fleet Foxes and will inevitably draw such comparisons from other critics and listeners

  9. 5.9 |   Pitchfork

    Poor Moon turns out to be a wisp of a record, intentionally light and certainly promising but also oddly - and perhaps ironically - weightless
    Read Review

  10. 5.0 |   The Digital Fix

    A pretty and sometimes entertaining record that while not containing the brilliance and beauty of a Fleet Foxes release can still put a wry smile on your face
    Read Review

  11. 5.0 |   PopMatters

    An uneven, sometimes frustratingly safe record
    Read Review

  12. 5.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    It’s easy and buoyant, but not sound enough to stay afloat for much longer after the record ends
    Read Review

  13. 4.0 |   The Independent

    A sort of mannered, formalist rusticity that only occasionally develops a convincing momentum
