  3. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    An exciting debut from someone who’s trying to break the pop mould, several genres at a time

  4. 7.0 |   All Music

    This is music that is out there, it is not cooked up by consultants and marketers, it's a truly, genuinely strange attempt at something new -- it may miss its mark but that's why it's fascinating

  5. 6.0 |   The Scotsman

    For all the bells and whistles, this is a thin debut, fleshed out with manicured covers of ye olde rock’n’roll standards

  6. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    Here's Willy Moon sounds far less like a fusion of Elvis and urban than it does Sigue Sigue Sputnik and Westworld, who had exactly the same idea nearly 30 years ago

  8. 6.0 |   The Observer

    Combines rootsy rock'n'roll with the production dazzle of 00s hip-hop and dance music

  9. 6.0 |   DIY

    Towards the end of the album, newest single ‘My Girl’ is an upbeat pop song, and is the best example of Willy Moon’s expert handling of retro rock and roll with a more modern sound

  10. 6.0 |   Rolling Stone

    His songs take the ferocity of early rock & roll, add hip-hop-flavored beats, ladle on some feedback – and move on before wearing out their welcome

  11. 5.0 |   The Digital Fix

    The obvious touchstone is Mark Ronson but without the A-list cast

  12. 4.0 |   NME

    Willy can't shake the stench of USP-gimmick. Print edition only
