  1. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Effectively a set of moving, funeral-paced closing tracks addressing familiar themes. Print edition only

  2. 8.0 |   Q

    From start to finish, it’s moving and beautiful stuff. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   Uncut

    There’s a run of songs in Who Is The Sender?’s second half that are devastating in their powers. Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   All Music

    Presented with genuine humility, these relatively simple songs are nonetheless brimming with moral authority

  5. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    Fay’s measured rasp of a voice deals with the world around him in all its permutations

  6. 7.4 |   Pitchfork

    Fay sighs as much as he sings here. The once-soaring strings turn doleful, and harmonies that felt like life-affirming proclamations just three years ago now seem like cries for survival

  7. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    A celebration of life and an expression of hope for the future

  8. 6.0 |   The Observer

    All slow builds and gradual dawnings, this rich follow-up ponders the artistic process with a gentleness that belies great depth
