  1. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Flynn’s language and cadence can be quaintly archaic; his wandering-minstrel lyrics poetic, and apple-sweet

  2. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    A very accomplished album and one that shows Flynn well on his way to becoming the UK’s next great folk troubadour

  3. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    An intriguing third album which moves away from his folk background and dips its toes into fully-fledged Americana

  4. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Country Mile is a fine album, testament to the smartly ornate take on English folk old and new as one and the same

  5. 7.0 |   The Digital Fix

    A fine collection of songs that takes you on a trip through a young man's colorful imagination, proving well worth the price of the ticket

  6. 6.0 |   DIY

    Flynn and band are happy to be a little old-fashioned, but it can be fun to join them

  7. 6.0 |   Uncut

    A competent, if unsurprising effort. Print edition only

  8. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    It’s a shame the lyrics are so half-cooked, because musically Country Mile contains some genuinely robust and enjoyable songcraft

  9. 6.0 |   Mojo

    An extremely clever and nuanced record. Print edition only

  10. 5.0 |   NME

    His folk-rock has always felt a bit forced, and album number three is rootsy like the Chelsea Flower Show

  11. 4.0 |   Q

    An album that should have seen Flynn take a step closer to Messrs Marling and Mumford has, sadly, been moulded into a bit of a snoozefest. Print edition only
