    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   Evening Standard

    It will keep his memory burning
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   The FT

    The Who singer gives it the full theatrics, hollering and growling away as Johnson cranks out choppy Canvey Island R&B riffs; piano, harmonica and drums stomp away in support

  4. 8.0 |   The Observer

    It's brilliant in places
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   Q

    Daltry, in hammy form, is audibly more invigorated than on latterday Who outings. Print edition only

  6. 8.0 |   Mojo

    A joyful, celebratory affair. Print edition only

  7. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    We know it’s only a matter of time before he leaves us, but we can at least be happy that he’s going to be leaving us with this. And his influence? Well, that’s never going to be leaving us. Cheers, Wilko

    Going Back Home has a simple premise – two statesmen revering the R&B that ignited their journey, in the process delivering one of the most enjoyable records the year has thrown up so far

    Not so much a last will and testament. More a case of business as usual, for as long as he still can
    Read Review

  11. 7.0 |   NME

    The pair attack a chunky selection of bluesy Wilko originals with gusto
    Read Review

  12. 6.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    It is not a substantial offering, nor does it plough a new furrow – but it is a buzz
    Read Review

  13. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    A slightly half-baked LP paying tribute to what’s gone before, but that would still be okay by me; god knows we’ll miss Wilko when he’s gone
    Read Review

  14. 6.0 |   The Arts Desk

    All in, this is a solid epitaph to one of rock’s most eccentric and unsung careers
    Read Review

  15. 6.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Brawling tunes steeped in vintage rock & roll
