  1. 8.0 |   All Music

    Sounds more like a loving tribute to a simpler, slower time and once decanted, the songs begin to take on a personality of their own

  2. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Lovely, haunted folk. Impressive, beautifully poised stuff. Printed edition only

    Having others to lean on in the big bad world brings the best out of Hollie Tillbrook. Printed edition only

  5. 7.0 |   The Music

    Convincing without being overly earnest, Brightly Painted One is acoustic folk-pop done with rare finesse

  6. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    As brilliant as Fullbrook’s words often are, her unwaveringly sleepy delivery and the impossibly sparse accompaniments make fully appreciating them a fairly rigorous task.

  7. 7.0 |   NME

    Holbrook's wavery trill falls somewhere between Laura Marling and Sandy Denny

  8. 6.0 |   The 405

    Fullbrook's intelligent writing is the key to the band's future - it's far and away their most potent weapon
