  1. 8.0 |   Evening Standard

    This time their enthusiasm for post-rock has become more evident with a widescreen sound that balances volume and grace

  2. 8.0 |   DIY

    The soaring melodies and grandeur are very much still intact, but this is a calmer, ever so slightly more measured band

  3. 7.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Dry The River have here proven that they hold their own distinct niche in our record collections, and are settling in to it nicely

  4. 6.0 |   Digital Spy

    Most of the chanting hooks here aren't infectious enough to take them to the next level

  5. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    Liddle’s voice still transmits rich, honest tones, his lyrics are still of the wearing- your-heart-on-the-sleeve variety and the band are still aiming for the big music

  6. 6.0 |   Q

    Ditches the folk part of folk-rock. Print edition only

  7. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Smooth but quavering, subdued but emotive. Print edition only

  8. 5.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Truth is, songs like ‘Gethsemane’ and ‘Everlasting Light’ are more representative - pretty pedestrian but with flashes of life. You just have to hope this river hasn’t quite run dry
