  1. 10.0 |   Daily Telegraph

    A deeply moving record
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Playing the new "Wichita Lineman" back to back with the 1968 original makes for a moving compare-and-contrast exercise
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   The Scotsman

    For those who don’t feel too precious about the original versions of these songs, See You There is a rendezvous well worth making
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   The Arts Desk

    The main decision has been to remove all trace of the strings that hang around the original recordings like a jaunty perfume
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    If this proves to be the country legend's final album, it's a mighty and very fine way to bow out
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   Evening Standard

    Young people, buy this record, get a higher education
    Read Review

  7. 7.0 |   The Digital Fix

    If this is really is the last music we hear from Glen Campbell then there couldn't have been a more fitting way to bring things to a close
    Read Review

  8. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    At 77 and living with this debilitating condition, that Campbell could come up with something quite as touching as this album is remarkable in itself
    Read Review

  9. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    A genuinely heartfelt and moving, if slightly patchy, record
    Read Review

  10. 7.0 |   Uncut

    The version of Rhinestone Cowboy is bold and definitive. Print edition only

  11. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Campbell's voice sounds great
    Read Review

  12. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Quite a marvelous record with many more peaks than valleys
    Read Review

  13. 6.0 |   Blurt

    Begs the question of whether the new takes on these tunes can ever overshadow the originals. The obvious answer is no, but as an admirable addition to Campbell’s catalog, it’s a perfect postscript regardless
    Read Review

  14. 6.0 |   Q

    This final testament is all the more heart-breaking for the fact that we'll never hear from Campbell again. Print edition only

  15. 6.0 |   The Observer

    The power of his interpretations is undimmed even as intimacy overtakes their former lushness
    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   Mojo

    The singers' vocals sound unchanged, still keening and honey-pure. Print edition only

  17. 5.0 |   All Music

    See You There doesn't carry the same weight as Ghost on the Canvas. That felt like a fitting coda to a career; this feels like an afterthought
    Read Review

  18. 4.0 |   The Independent

    There's no significant depletion in his delivery of a wistful “Wichita Lineman”, but “Galveston” lacks the bottomless yearning of the original
