    A brilliant, nigh-on faultless work from an acknowledged master

    Inventive and articulate
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   All Music

    This sounds very much like a Richard Thompson album, spare and clean and allowing his songs and guitar work to take center stage at all times

    Thompson is still unique

  6. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    While there’s nothing particularly striking about Still, it’s another example of the sort of thing that Richard Thompson does best

  7. 8.0 |   Mojo

    A typically finely crafted slice of emotionally raw storytelling
    Read Review

  8. 8.0 |   The Observer

    No one makes a Fender sing like Thompson and Guitar Heroes, a nod to his idols, ends in an improvised blaze
    Read Review

  9. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    Everything you want from Richard Thompson is right here, right now, on Still. You wont notice Jeff Tweedy all that much, which is as big a compliment as one can make of any producer

  10. 8.0 |   Uncut

    The work of a man striving for a modest kind of perfection, and not for the first time, he has almost achieved it. Print edition only

  11. 7.5 |   Pitchfork

    An album full of gems... Thompson is still making complicated, thoughtful, intricate, resonant music
    Read Review

  12. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    It's got all of his hallmarks flowing throughout - wonderful guitar playing, some fantastically pithy lyrics - and is clear proof that there's plenty of spark remaining
    Read Review

  13. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Thompson knows that bitterness goes down easiest when paired with autumnal Celtic-pub melodies
    Read Review

  14. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Still, even with the expected flaws of latter day Thompson releases, continues the winning streak of his last two albums of new music

  15. 7.0 |   Spectrum Culture

    Not much has changed about Richard Thompson’s style in recent years, but not much really has to change
