  1. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    What a debut should be – original, uncompromising and compelling

  2. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   NME

    Don’t let those vintage dresses and heavy false eyelashes fool you. Cate Le Bon is one strange creature. Her odd, beautiful songs burrow like furtive woodland creatures to a safe nest lodged firmly between tradition and individual talent

  4. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    Le Bon isn't consciously trying to sound different. She just does, and effortlessly too

  5. 8.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Le Bon proves that she deserves the Nico comparison: like the Velvet Underground’s one-time chanteuse, she has several distinct registers, an indeterminate accent, and the ability to both soothe and scare the shit out of you

  6. 7.3 |   Pitchfork

    An understated work, but by no means an underwhelming one

  7. 6.0 |   State

    ...album full of moments of autumnal depth and shadow that has the makings of an interesting debut but sadly unravels losing its way at the end of a promising journey

  8. 6.0 |   Q

    Print edition only

  9. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    An album stuck somewhere between experimentation and traditional folk that benefits from both camps but is held back by refusing to have a firm footing on either side.

  10. 6.0 |   The Independent

    Closer to wyrd-folkie than soul-diva, but blessed with a unique line in imagery, and a ramshackle innocence to her musical approach

  11. 6.0 |   Uncut

    In truth, Me Oh My is a slender album, but there’s much to recommend it. It’s quirky and confident; mindful of tradition without getting bogged down in issues of authenticity

  12. 5.0 |   musicOMH

    There's no denying that there are many moments of fragile beauty, and there's certainly a lot of promise. But the songs will have to be a bit stronger for Cate Le Bon's second time around.
